When you are asked a question in an interview that you already know the answer to, you should take a moment to think about how you will answer the question. You want to be sure to answer the question in a way that is honest, but also shows that you are prepared for the interview.

Here is an example of how you could answer a question that you already know the answer to:

“So, what do you think are the three most important qualities for a successful salesperson?”

“Well, first and foremost, a successful salesperson needs to be able to build relationships with potential customers. They need to be able to understand the customer’s needs and then match those needs with the products or services that they are selling. Finally, a successful salesperson needs to be able to close the deal, meaning they need to be able to persuade the customer to make a purchase.”
