Likely interview questions for this role

About your past
This role is heavy on outbound calls. Tell me about a time you had to handle a lot of rejection. How did you keep going?
What they are checking: Whether they have the resilience for cold prospecting, which most new reps underestimate.
The role pays a base plus uncapped commission. Tell me about a goal you set for yourself that took real effort to hit.
What they are checking: Whether they are truly motivated by earning and have a record of pushing toward stretch targets.
Tell me about a time you were competitive in a way that made a team better, not worse.
What they are checking: Whether their drive fits a team-driven floor rather than coming at teammates' expense.
Where do you want to be after the first year, and what would you need to do to get promoted in nine to twelve months?
What they are checking: Whether they have realistic ambition tied to performance, which the posting's promotion path rewards.
What would you do
You get a shipping manager on the phone and they say they're happy with their current provider. What do you say next?
What they are checking: Whether they can keep a conversation open with a good question rather than pitching harder or giving up.
How would you organize your day to build a pipeline in Salesforce from nothing?
What they are checking: Whether they think in terms of activity volume, tracking, and follow-up cadence.
A prospect asks for a quote and says a competitor is $150 cheaper. How do you respond?
What they are checking: Whether they can negotiate on value and service rather than matching every price and losing margin.
You closed a new customer, and their first load goes badly. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they own the customer experience after the sale instead of handing problems off.
About the work
Sell me on why a mid-sized manufacturer should work with a freight broker instead of calling carriers directly.
What they are checking: Whether they can articulate the broker's value proposition in plain, persuasive terms.
How would you use AI tools to prospect or prepare for calls, and where would you not trust them?
What they are checking: Whether they can use the tools mentioned in the posting sensibly without handing judgment to them.
