Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
Behavioral
Walk me through a day where you had a quota to hit and a stack of cold calls to make. How did you plan your outbound activity?
whether the candidate has real experience structuring high-volume outbound work rather than just being reactive
Tell me about a time you took a small or mid-tier account and found revenue nobody else saw. What did you do to uncover it?
ability to mine existing accounts for upsell rather than only chasing new logos
Tell me about a stretch where you missed a quota. What happened and what did you change?
self-awareness and resilience after failure, not just success stories
Describe a time you had to present your numbers or forecast to a group, like in a QBR. How did you prepare and how did it go?
comfort communicating results upward and to peers under some scrutiny
Tell me about a time you mentored or helped a newer teammate improve their sales approach.
leadership potential and willingness to share knowledge on a team, per the preferred qualifications
Technical
What's your process for keeping a pipeline accurate, and how do you forecast revenue when some deals are shaky?
discipline with pipeline hygiene and honesty in forecasting rather than sandbagging or overpromising
How have you used Salesforce or a tool like Outreach.io to run call campaigns or manage a territory?
actual hands-on familiarity with the specific sales tech stack this role uses daily
What do you know about what Motorola Solutions sells and who typically buys it?
whether the candidate researched the company and portfolio before the interview
Tell me about a sales methodology or framework you've used, like MEDDIC or Sandler. How did it shape how you run a call?
exposure to structured sales process versus purely intuitive selling
Situational
Say you're on a call with a customer whose contract renews in three weeks and they seem lukewarm about continuing. What do you say and do next?
consultative renewal skills and comfort handling at-risk revenue in real time
How do you decide when a lead is worth qualifying yourself versus handing off to a field Account Manager?
judgment about the inside-outside sales handoff and not hoarding or dumping leads inappropriately
If a prospect keeps dodging your calls after three or four attempts, what's your next move?
persistence and creativity in outbound prospecting without becoming annoying or giving up
How would you explain the value of a recurring service contract to a customer who just wants the lowest price?
ability to sell value and long-term agreements instead of competing purely on cost
