"Although I do not have formal sales training, I have some on-the-job training related to cold calling and discovering a clients' need. If you have recommendations on where to start, as far as online sales courses or books to read, I would love some suggestions!"

Most temporary staffing recruiters will run a 360 desk. The term 360 means that you handle everything from client acquisition, business development for new job orders, finding the right temp candidates, placing them, and all the documentation required in between. Many of these tasks require the same skill set that a professional sales person would have. Discuss any sales training you have, and how you believe it will help you to succeed in this role. If you do not have any sales training, you could ask the interviewer for recommendations of online sales courses, or other helpful resources to grow your sales skills.

"I have taken a couple of Dale Carnegie sales courses including 'Winning with Relations and 'How to Cold Call and Build New Customers.' The greatest things I learned were how to take the stress out of cold calling. I built my confidence through these courses and am better at appealing to potential clients' needs."
