Intentionality Is A Sales Interviewing Superpower

Amy Volas

--

You can’t teach people to care and if you don’t, it ALWAYS comes through. Regardless of being a sales leader or sales rep, when you’re interviewing and you’re just “window shopping,” it shows.

Newsflash: the window shopping mindset isn’t a great look in practice and more often than not, doesn’t result in an invitation for the next round.

Let me be clear, quantity is NOT above quality when it comes to making career moves.

There are big differences when it comes to making job moves versus career moves.

Alexine nails it from one of my LinkedIn posts:

I’m baffled by how many sales leaders and salespeople chuck curiosity to the side and treat the interview process as a basic numbers game. You don’t increase your chances of getting hired by simply talking to anyone and everyone that you can… just like in scaling a startup.

Knowing what your superpower is and the kind of work you want to do and the startup you want to be a part of will serve everyone well throughout the process.
