What they are checking: experience with remote diagnosis and how they compensate for lack of hands-on access
Tell me about a time you had to push back on a dealer or vendor who wasn't meeting expectations. How did you handle it?
What they are checking: negotiation skill and comfort holding partners accountable without damaging the relationship
Describe a time you noticed a pattern in service requests that pointed to a bigger process problem. What did you do with that information?

What they are checking: adaptability and attention to detail when conditions shift under them
Describe a situation where you had to build trust with a dealer or partner you didn't have an existing relationship with.
What they are checking: relationship-building ability in a role that depends heavily on the dealer network
What would you do
Walk me through how you'd handle a network-connected generator that's showing a fault alert but the customer hasn't noticed anything wrong yet.
What they are checking: whether the candidate proactively troubleshoots before escalating and understands the remote monitoring workflow
A national account customer calls upset because a dealer hasn't shown up for a scheduled service call. What do you do first?
