Behavioral
Tell me about a time you took over a team of coordinators who were struggling with performance. What did you actually do to turn it around?
whether the candidate has real hands-on leadership experience versus just supervising in title
Tell me about a time you had to give someone difficult feedback or move into progressive discipline. How did you approach the conversation?
comfort with the harder parts of people management, not just the coaching side
Tell me about a process you documented or rebuilt because it was unclear or outdated. What was broken and what did you change?
concrete process improvement experience versus a vague continuous-improvement mindset claim
Describe a time you had to influence people who didn't report to you in order to get something done.
lateral influence skills needed for cross-team liaison work
Tell me about the last time you interviewed or onboarded a new hire. What did you focus on in their first few weeks?
experience with hiring and structured onboarding, since it's a stated responsibility
Tell me about a customer relationship you personally built or repaired over time. What made it work?
relationship-building skill with key stakeholders, not just transactional customer service
Technical
How have you used Salesforce case management in a past role, and have you ever pushed for a change to how a team used it?
actual working knowledge of Salesforce versus surface familiarity, and whether they've influenced process not just followed it
What's your experience with SAP or a similar ERP system, and what kind of tasks did you use it for day to day?
depth of ERP exposure since it's named explicitly as a requirement
How comfortable are you building reports or tracking performance data in Excel, and can you give an example of a spreadsheet or dashboard you built to monitor a team?
practical Excel skill level since it's called out specifically for operational reporting
Situational
Walk me through how you'd set metrics for a sales coordination team that doesn't directly generate revenue.
ability to define meaningful KPIs for a support function, not just copy sales quotas
A sales coordinator is missing deadlines on customer order processing and it's starting to affect a key account. How do you handle it?
balance between coaching and accountability, and speed of escalation when a customer relationship is at risk
Two departments disagree on how a customer escalation should have been handled, and you're stuck in the middle as the liaison. What do you do?
conflict management skill and ability to stay neutral while still driving resolution
How would you go about building a development plan for a coordinator who's technically solid but weak on customer service skills?
whether they can coach specific, softer skills rather than just tracking metrics
If you noticed a recurring bottleneck in how cases move through Salesforce between your team and Sales Operations, how would you raise it and push for a fix?
process ownership and willingness to escalate improvement ideas rather than just work around problems
