Question 1
was soo long ago , basic questions , how many hours a week ? sales experience? if you had a problem with a customer or coworker how would you deal with it ?
Fifteen minutes, quite easy. Ask for expected salary range, company future. Sales orientation. Product knowledge and industry knowledge. Depends on management to be very honest, can make or break your time there
It was a telephonic interview where they asked me about my prior work experience and how I can be fit in the Sales associate position by asking situation based questions and what sales strategies I have used in the past to upsell some products
