About your past

Tell me about a time you opened a new account in a market you had never worked before.

What they are checking: Whether they can build relationships from zero in unfamiliar cities, which this spread-out territory demands.

Walk me through how you track your new-business pipeline from first contact to first order.

What they are checking: Whether they manage the funnel with real stages and numbers, which a hunter's results depend on.

Tell me about a deal that took much longer than you expected. What kept it moving?

What they are checking: Whether they stay patient and organized with long healthcare sales cycles instead of dropping slow prospects.

Why does a hunter role across Texas and Louisiana appeal to you?

What they are checking: Whether they have weighed the travel and prospecting load honestly and still want the job.

What would you do

Your territory covers DFW, Austin, Houston, San Antonio and Louisiana. How would you plan coverage across that much ground?

What they are checking: Whether they can prioritize a very large territory and plan travel around opportunity, not convenience.

How do you decide which prospects to visit in person and which to work by phone or video?

What they are checking: Whether they use their limited field time well across several metro areas.

A large Houston health system has a contract with another lab. How would you find an opening?

How would you handle a new client who is upset about a surprise bill one of their patients received?

What they are checking: Whether they take ownership and get billing teams involved fast, since one bad bill can end a new account.

About the work

How would you explain hereditary cancer testing to a busy primary care or OB-GYN office in Louisiana that has never ordered it?

What they are checking: Whether they can make the case for testing simply and know which patients meet the criteria.

How do the roles of physician, genetic counselor and lab staff affect who orders hereditary testing in an account?
