How to Close a Sales Interview

In this short 4-minute video, Rob Scott of Aaron Wallis gives an overview of how to close a sales interview in the same way that you would close a sales meeting to the next stage. An easy to understand reminder to ensure that you perform at your best at every sales interview

I didn't know what it meant to close. Thanks for explaining. I've been doing a great job closing and didn't even know it.

I think that closing interview by asking question such as "how do you fell our meeting went today?" it can be described as I would like to get the feedback, and normally as I understand that this question can be taken in negative way as is inappropriately to ask for the feedback to be given to you before you leave the room of the interview, am I correct?

[@RobScottUK]

Hi Ehab, You're right, you're asking for feedback and that will (hopefully) get the interviewers to talk about concerns they may have over your application. This gives the interviewee the only opportunity they'll ever have to overcome these concerns. For me, it is about the best, non-confrontational way to ask for feedback and, in sales interviews, a good demonstration of a pre-close.

[@RobScottUK]

THat was a rather wild shirt day - it was a hot day and hot under the lights! Glad you like the content anyhow :)

Maybe I am mistaken, but I haven't heard any closing question, like: "Where are we going from here?", "How are we going to proceed with this?", etc. From your accent, it sounds like that you work in the UK, where maybe such questions would be perceived as too blunt.

Rob, out of interest, as you are a sales recruitment firm, do you have any software sales roles? :-) Sincerely, Jason

[@salesrecruitment]

Hi Jason, I personally focus on technical sales - engineering, etc, but the best guy here is probably [e-mail] Hope that we can help, thanks, Rob

Always Be Closing, right? What are some good closes to throw into resumes and cover letters?

[@RobScottUK]

Hi +Charles Cox , As resumes can be so subjective I think it largely depends on the reader. Personally I like people that are quite 'in your face' in their statements in cover letters or the profile on their resume. However, most corporates (and particularly HR in corporates) would switch straight off. Instead I would suggest a search on 'Power Words' - there's some good stuff out there and maybe 'NLP trigger words' as these can really help you to stand out. Good luck with writing your resume! All the best to you
