Philippine-specific tips for this role
- ▸ Some might say, 'Ako kasi, tawag lang nang tawag, bahala na si Batman.' This lacks strategy. Instead, say: 'I prepare a targeted list and use a consultative approach on each call, focusing on customer needs.'
- ▸ Some candidates might say, 'Sipag lang talaga, ma'am, parang binebenta ko puso ko.' This sounds unprofessional. Instead, focus on specific strategies like building a pipeline and using follow-up scripts.
- ▸ Avoid saying, 'Sir, okay lang yan, marami naman gumagamit na eh.' This dismisses concerns. Instead, validate and provide data: 'I understand, sir. Many customers felt the same initially, but after a test drive and seeing the numbers, they were convinced.'
- ▸ Avoid saying, 'Kasi gusto ko lang po ma-experience, ma'am.' Instead, articulate a deeper reason: 'I'm excited by the opportunity to help customers save money and reduce emissions through innovative technology.'
