Over at Forbes, Jacquelyn Smith offers five tips on getting the best possible sales job. She suggests finding the right fit, doing your homework, asking thoughtful questions and listening to answers, clearly articulating your value position, and following up. All good advice, but I would suggest at least one more: practice before the interview.
Get together with friends and scrimmage the scenarios that you can imagine. Make sure your presentation will be structured on making yourself likable, trustworthy, and influential. Check out my book, The Sales Professional’s Playbook, for instructions on how all this is done.
