SAMPLE QUESTION

How do you gain a customer’s loyalty? Tell me a time when you gained customer loyalty.

True Meaning
Tell me about your approach to selling.

Interviewer Looking to Confirm
• You are aware of your selling style
• You approach the sales process with a highly-disciplined, well thought out approach
• You invest in your professional development and you learn beyond the job

Pitfalls
• Not providing a framework or structure around your sales process
• Not demonstrating that you go to lengths that your competitors do not go to to close the deal


Winning Example
There are three things that I typically do to gain a customer’s loyalty:

1. I provide my customer with a unique perspective on the market
2. I help them avoid potential pitfalls, and
3. I provide ongoing consultation

For example, while at [Company Name], I received a lead for a company in the Food and Beverage industry. I performed extensive research on the industry —​ compiled these key findings, such as high growth opportunities and options to cut costs, into a succinct presentation that I shared with our prospect early on in the sales process. They were surprised at how much they learned about their own business during our conversation. Furthermore, I shared common pitfalls competitors in the industry often face when implementing our product and actions other companies have taken to mitigate these risks. I continued to share valuable industry insights with the prospect over the entirety of the sales process.

Not only did we close the deal, but I proved a trusted business partner and an advisor. To this day, that customer still comes to me with questions on new opportunities, costs reduction, and risk mitigation techniques ​—​ even if the problem does not directly relate to our product. I have found this method to be a reliable way to gain loyalty early on.
