End of the Interview

There was 3 minutes left in your interview and it was your turn to ask a question.

FINALLY!

We've all been there. Exhausted from answering questions. Which Q do you ask?

Do you go for the soft close? Is that too aggressive?

Here's what a Regional VP of Sales and Director of Sales said they look for...

"Candidates in that situation should ask for more time"

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝘆:
1. I know we're at the end of the call, do you have 5 more minutes?
2. I know we have a few minutes left, do you have time for 2 questions?

Why did the Regional VP and Director of Sales say they look for this?

𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘥𝘰 𝘰𝘯 𝘢 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘳.

On the flip side, as a candidate, the response you get is very telling.

Think about what happens next:
1. They say yes and you're able to ask your questions - green light
2. They say no but offer to book another meeting - yellow light
3. They say no and that's it - red light (could be telling of where you stand)

If you think this will help someone, please forward it to them or have them subscribe.
