Hiring Sales Consultants

Find the salespeople worth a second interview, without the phone tag.

Sales applicants arrive in waves. Every one of them gets a structured first interview about how they sell, follow up and handle a hesitant buyer on the lot, and your sales manager starts with a scorecard.

A scorecard for a sales consultant applicant

What the interview covers

The questions a good sales consultant can answer.

A structured interview of about 15 minutes, with follow-up questions on what the applicant has actually done, taken from their resume.

  • How they qualify a buyer and present a vehicle
  • Handling price objections and hesitant customers
  • Follow-up discipline and CRM habits
  • Explaining financing and leasing options to a customer
  • Recovering a deal that is going sideways

Your must-ask questions

Asked word for word, every time.

Add the questions you always ask in a first call. For yes/no questions, set the answer you're looking for; the interviewer never gives it away.

  • "Do you have a valid driver's license?"
  • "Are you comfortable with a commission-based role?"
  • "Can you work evenings and Saturdays?"
