Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
How do you decide which customers to visit or call when you can't reach everyone in a week?
What they are checking: Whether they use sales data and account potential to spend limited time where it pays off most.
Describe a time you missed a sales goal. What did you learn and what did you change?
What they are checking: Whether they can look honestly at a miss and adjust, rather than blaming traffic or the market.
Tell me about a time you supervised peers or filled in as a lead. What was hard about it?
What they are checking: Whether they can direct people who may have been their equals, which this role asks of them daily.
What would you do
How would you go about finding new repair shops and fleets around Eau Claire that aren't buying from us yet?
What they are checking: Whether they can prospect for new commercial business instead of only serving accounts that already exist.
One of your biggest buyers is past due on their credit account. How do you handle that conversation?
What they are checking: Whether they can protect the store's money without damaging a relationship the business depends on.
A mechanic says the part you sent was wrong and blames your counter. What do you do first?
What they are checking: Whether they fix the customer's problem before assigning blame, which keeps a frustrated account loyal.
A shop owner says a competitor down the road is beating your price. How do you respond?
What they are checking: Whether they can sell on service, availability and reliability instead of reaching straight for a discount.
About the work
What do you look at to decide whether a commercial credit account is healthy?
What they are checking: Whether they understand payment history and credit limits well enough to protect the store while still selling.
How would you build and keep a network of second source suppliers so you can fill orders the system says you can't?
What they are checking: Whether they treat outside suppliers as relationships to maintain, which is how hard-to-find parts still get delivered.
How do you manage the core bank and commercial returns so they don't pile up and cost the store money?
What they are checking: Whether they know cores and returns are real dollars that vanish when they are not tracked and processed on time.
What does a good commercial stocking program look like for a busy shop, and how do you keep it accurate?
What they are checking: Whether they see that stocking a customer's shelf with the right parts locks in their business and cuts emergency runs.
