How would you approach a short
sales cycle differently than a long
sales cycle?
Short cycles call for reps that can close quickly.
Long sales cycles require a much more careful,
tailored approach.
They’re drastically different, and your candidate
should recognize this.
Avoid surprises — interviews need preparation. Some questions come up
time and time again — usually about you, your experience and the job
itself. We've gathered together the most common questions so you can get
your preparation off to a flying start.
You also find all interview questions at link at the end of this post.
