The old PEN story, with a twist!

The absolute favourite sales interview question posed by Hirers, is “sell me this pen”. This week I heard the best response ever, shared with me by a Sales Exec on a training course…….

The interview got underway & suddenly the Interviewer produced a pen & passed it on to the Candidate.

Of course he then asked the question “sell me this pen”.

The Candidate looked thoughtfully at the pen for a few seconds & then passed the Hirer a piece of paper torn from the note pad he had brought with him.

Then he asked “would you mind writing your name, please Sir”

Of course, said the Interviewer, who had handed his pen to the Candidate, asked “please pass me the pen”

The Candidate answered “Certainly Sir. That will be R10”

The perfect answer!

The Candidate created a NEED!

Oh, & he got the job!
