I am confident, polite, respectful and have strong ethics and values. On that basis, if you hire me as your Sales Executive, I feel confident you will see a positive return on your investment and you will see quickly that I am able to contribute to your organization in a positive manner.”
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I want to work for your company for three main reasons. The first reason is, I understand how important sales are to the commercial success of your organization. Because I am very passionate about sales, and I feel strongly I can make a difference to your business, I feel we would be a good match for each other. The second reason is, after researching your company, and in particular reading your most recent press release on your website, it is clear the products and services you create are to a very high standard. I have come to realise that the only way you can achieve your targets as a Sales Executive is if the product or service you are selling has high level benefits for the customers you are trying to sell to. Finally, I want to work for a company where I am valued and also where I can stay for potentially a long period of time. You have an impressive company history and I feel confident I will enjoy working for you and you will be pleased with my consistent high-performance sales levels.”
