[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 396417, member: 3850"] I'd say it depends on the position you're applying for: If you're applying to be one of their creative experts, then a demo makes sense. If you're just applying to be a regular sales person, then you're better off just focusing on making a good impression. Remember: Most of the time you'll be selling the "basics" to newish customers, so practise by pitching the iPod or the iMac to a potential customer. They'll most likely ask for you to go through a mock sales conversation, so try to anticipate a few "curveball" questions they might throw your way (e.g. "Why should I get an iPod when you can buy other mp3 players for a lot less?"). The most important part of being a sales rep. is being able to adapt to the flow of the conversation and focus on what the customer wants, or what is best for his requirements - show you can listen and carry an intelligent sales discussion with a customer. I'd actually go into the store and see how you're approached by the current sales staff. You can pick up a lot of the characteristics they're looking for by watching others. [/QUOTE]
