Choose the right perspective
Look for candidates who have personally managed the full sales cycle with restaurant operators or chains. Ask them to describe a specific deal: what happened between the first conversation and the signed contract, what questions the buyer asked, and what nearly stopped the deal.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01Walk me through a deal you closed. What did the buyer need to see or hear before they would sign?
- 02When a restaurant operator said no or delayed, what was the real reason—and how did you find out?
- 03What surprised you most about how restaurants actually make purchasing decisions?
