What do you say when asked 'How will you sell a certain item or product to a customer' in a job interview?

Answer

This is a common question in interviews for sales and marketing positions. They might even hold up an item on their desk and ask you to sell it to them, as if they were the customer.

Selling anything requires understanding the needs of the customer, and thoroughly understanding the product or service you are selling. When giving your example to the interviewer, show that you know this. If you're being asked to sell something you know nothing about, you might get away with making up details (in an obvious, possibly humorous manner).
