Sales Interview
I have an interview with a prominent economic consulting firm here in NY on Thursday and its a sales role.
I desperately need this to go well so I was hoping to hear how those who work in Sales or S&T fared in their interviews. I've been told sales interviews are much more difficult then others (I have a modest sales background but have good pedigree elsewhere).
What should I be working on? How should I cover my lack of sales experience?
Any ideas/sites/articles to read would be great. I have pretty good knowledge of the firm so not worried there.
Any help would be welcome!
Thanks!
Be extremely personable, and give a convincing explanation why you are interested in the role. Maybe play up your interpersonal experience from other job experiences/campus activities?
Assuming its going to be a macro/fixed income focus.....
know where all the benchmark tsy rates are be able to explain the twist and what it did/which end of the curve was driven down and for what purpose know where libor is 3m 6m and 1yr and what it is in my FI S&T interviews a common question I got was pitch me a FI product, followed by pitch me something that is completely unrelated to finance (i pitched the spread offense in college football)

AND throw me a nanner
The job is largely selling investment research to various financial companies across the world. Focus is on macroeconomic research/emerging markets.
Does Gekko's posts apply on a general level for sales roles?
