Our program managers work alongside our sales and business development team to seek new business opportunities. What experience do you have driving sales or new business contracts?

Remember to describe your experience working to drive new opportunities with internal stakeholders if you do not have experience in sales. While the specifics of the processes are different, interviewers understand that similar concepts and skills can be leveraged in an internal setting.

"I currently work for a consulting firm that offers business and technology solutions. I support out sales team from time to time when a complex solution is required, and they need additional support working with the client. Once a contract is signed and a new program of work is in flight, I work with the senior clients on the contract on a regular basis. I uncover new opportunities in these meetings all the time and I work to help scope them out and provide estimates. I also reach back out after the completion of our contract to ensure my clients are satisfied and determine if they have any additional needs."
