Best Tips on How to prepare for Sales Job 
Interview 
The Sales wing of a company is such a territory where the employer can never afford to 
compromise on the quality of manpower chosen. It is pertaining to the sections in the work force 
where the personnel employed is supposed to take care of the earnings of a company. They 
should be such that the profit and the top line both get enhanced and augmented day after day. 
This is the profit center of the company or organization – whatever term is applicable to the 
work place concerned. The sales force – by being physically present at the premises of the 
clients or by rendering their voice or sending e mails etc – are the front line personnel whom the 
client can see or visualize apart from experiencing the product or service concerned. 
Thus from the other side, the sales persons should also take adequate measures to prepare for the 
interviews for the various sales positions. This is the subject of this discussion today. 
How to prepare for an inside sales interview? 
Tons of pages and newsprints have been utilized already for specifying the ways on how to prepare 
for an inside sales interview. Here, it would be better perhaps if the candidate reiterates himself so 
as not to indulge in certain things which can reduce the selection chances of himself for the coveted 
inside sales position. 
As being among a company’s inside sales personnel, the work of the incumbent like you would be a 
bit different than the general telemarketing staff. The telemarketing part often contains conversation 
which is more or less scripted and the situation is something like “do or die”. A deal might flourish 
or may close without bearing any fruits but the matter ends there. Telemarketing involves selling 
low ticket items like say an insurance policy or things like an extended form of warranty etc. These 
are normally Business to consumer or B2C calls. But in case of the inside sales person, the job 
demands something more. They harness in excelling in B2B or Business to Business calls more 
often. The caller might have to refer back to the prospective client a couple of times or may be more 
than that. Thus while speaking to the clients – they might have to improvise the text of their speech 
– depending on the situations, the nature of the client business, the budget etc. Thus it is a bit 
specialized compared to mere telemarketing. 
With the above in the backdrop, it would be possible to review the do’s and don’ts for a candidate
like you in inside sales interviews. The aspiring candidate should never criticize the existing or 
former employers at all in the presence of the ongoing interview’s esteemed board members. 
The candidate should make it a point to maintain eye contact with the potential employer at the 
interview. Otherwise the interviewer might be haunted by second thoughts about the candidate 
although there is no question of any eye contact in case of inside sales. But this occurs as the inside 
sales person might have to maintain healthy relationship with the potential client as these involve 
multi touch points which are generally Business to business variety sales. 
The candidate should never be late for the interview. The candidate must be industrious enough to 
gather as much information as possible about the interviewing company and the relevant industry 
because in inside sales the seller needs to do a lot of homework often about the prospect company’s 
business since these variant sales generally involve big ticket high expense items – often industrial 
in nature. 
How to prepare for a sales phone interview? 
The tips for how to prepare for a sales phone interview are as follows. Candidates must never 
engage themselves in any kind of activities apart from receiving the phone for the interview on the 
scheduled date and at the stipulated time of the phone interview. The candidate should be highly

assumed that the interviewers are also having copies of the same ready while calling him over the 
phone. The disposition adopted by the candidate must sound cheerful over the phone. This is 
because of the simple fact that the interviewers are more interested to test his pro activeness while 
responding to any kind of business phone call.
