Application Questions
We don't expect perfect answers. We're interested in how you think, communicate and approach challenges.
01 | Persuasion
Tell us about a time you persuaded someone to change their mind or do something they were initially reluctant to do.
What was the situation, how did you approach the conversation, what objections did they have and what was the outcome?
02 | Commercial Awareness
What's the most interesting business, commercial or consumer trend you've noticed, read about or experienced in the last year?
Why did it catch your attention and what do you think businesses can learn from it?
03 | Resilience
Tell us about a time something you cared about didn't go to plan but you had to keep going anyway.
What happened, how did you respond and what did you actually do the next morning?
A note on AI
We believe AI is changing the future of sales, and as part of the Graduate Sales Academy you'll be introduced to a range of AI-powered sales tools that will help you work smarter and develop faster.
For your application, though, we'd like to get to know you. Please make sure your responses reflect your own thinking, experiences and personality. AI can be a helpful tool, but your application should showcase what makes you unique.
