Choose the right perspective
Look for candidates who sold specialty materials directly and closed deals themselves. Ask them to walk through a specific sale from first contact to signature. Avoid those who only managed salespeople or worked in support roles. You want someone who lived through the actual buying process.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01Walk me through a deal you closed. What happened between the first conversation and when they signed?
- 02What made a buyer move from interested to committed? What was the actual trigger?
- 03When did deals stall, and what got them unstuck?
