So you’ve landed yourself an interview for a trainee sales negotiator position, and now you’re thinking about what types of questions you might be asked. Firstly, congratulations on the interview and on getting yourself to this stage. Now it's time to prepare, and understand what questions you might be asked in a trainee sales negotiator interview to help build your confidence, feel prepared and impress your potential employers.

Our team has put together this short post, outlining 3 common questions that you might be asked at a trainee sales negotiator interview to help you prepare and give you some suggestions on how you can answer these tricky questions. Pear Recruitment are a specialist property recruitment agency, that are passionate about the property industry and helping candidates find their next roles.

1. Why Do You Want to Be an Estate Agent?

This is a classic interview question that you should expect, and it allows you to demonstrate your passion and ambition for the role that you are applying for. You want to explain to your potential future employers that you are passionate about the property industry, and that being an estate agent is a career that you’re truly interested in.

Be sure to outline the parts of being an estate agent that interest you, what skills you can bring to the role, and what excites you about the position you’re interviewing for. This question also gives you a chance to stand out amongst other potential candidates, and show your potential employer what you can bring to their company and why you’d be a great asset to the company.

2. What Skills Do You Feel Are Most Important for an Estate Agent Role?

This is asked by potential employers to make sure you know your stuff, and to reveal your self-confidence. They want to hear about how well you understand the position, and what skills you need to bring to succeed in the role. 

Focus on the skills that are important in a sales negotiator position, such as communication, managing high-pressure situations, organisation, and negotiation. Think about how you have used these skills in the past, and what previous experience and abilities you can bring that align with the role that you are interviewing for. Answering this question well will show that you are prepared and have done your research.

3. Explain Where You Had to Manage a Difficult Situation With a Client

Don’t let this kind of question trip you up, your potential employer wants to hear about how you have handled a difficult situation in the past, managed and resolved it. Tricky situations can happen often with landlords, tenants, and buyers and your employer wants to see how you would handle and overcome these situations. Think about previous situations in other roles where you had to handle difficult situations with other people, how you handled them and what you learnt. 

The best way to approach this kind of behavioural question is to use the STAR technique - which is a valuable interview technique that you can use to tell a story. First establish the situation by setting the scene and giving them the details, and then the task which is what your responsibility was in the situation. Then move on to action, which is what steps you took to address it and the result which is what outcome you achieved.
