Associate Consultant was asked...September 6, 2013

The case study was not that difficult. It was a broad and fairly easy case to discuss but I allowed my nervousness to get the best of me and forgot my frameworks and so it just sounded like a bunch of random thoughts.

Do you see yourself as a helpful customer oriented person or more of a salesperson?

2 Answers

The CORRECT answer (according to my interviewer): I prefer to think of myself as a beautiful marriage of helpful-customer oriented and sales driven. I believe that you can successfully match products to the consumer and solve consumer's problems while meeting your own sales goals. by suggesting to the customer more products which you would like to be selling, you find they have needs which should be skillfully matched to only my products.. (my interviewer was very happy with this answer and said she wished everyone answered like this) Less

I answered a helpful people person, but apparently what they really want is a salesperson. I am a skilled makeup artist, but all they care about is sales. Makes me sad :( Less
