Interview Questions
TFH
University Sales Representative

Can you describe a time you successfully persuaded someone to try a new product or service?
The Covenant University and Microsoft Partnership was recently introduced in school. Students from social sciences background shyed away from it, viewing it as far fetched and technology had nothing to do with their careers.
The MCU (Microsoft Covenant University partnership) was offering scholarship to a 1000 students who passed the scholarship exams. It was overwhelmed with STEM students with a few students of social science.
I took it upon myself to talk to these students, going from class to class, using social media platforms, forming relationships and explaining the usefulness of technology In every discipline.
By the time of the scholarship exams, there was a 25% increase of social science students that signed up for the exam.
TFH
University Sales Representative

How would you approach building relationships with new local vendors?
To build strong relationships with new local vendors as a universitybsales representative for TFH, I would start by researching local vendors around campus that align with TFH's mission. My initial contact would involve visiting these vendors in person to introduce myself and TFH. I would establish trust and rapport by face to face interactions.
I believe in building genuine relationships, so I would engage vendors in conversation about their challenges and goals. Understanding their needs allows me to tailor our offerings to better serve them.
I would propose collaborative initiatives that can help their business while also promoting TFH.
After establishing contact, I would maintain regular communication, providing updates on TFH's initiatives and seeking feedback from vendors on how we can improve our partnership.
I would position myself as a reliable point of contact for any questions or concerns they may have.
