Outside Sales Representative Quiz: Trivia! - Quiz

What is an outside sales representative and what they do? Do you know enough to pass this quiz? An outside sales representative is a sales specialist who meets or targets customers in person. The job of the outside sales representative can be more challenging than someone with inside sales roles. They will typically meet with a prospective customer without having any senior management from the company come along. This quiz is all about what it means to be an outside sales representative.

Questions and Answers

1.

This job pays both hourly and commissions, based on minimum performance expectations. Is that OK with you?
- A.
  
  That sounds good, provided I don't have to deal with stressful deadlines or pressures.
- B.
  
  Actually, I just want hourly more than anything. Commissions are nice, but not as important to me.
Correct Answer
A. That sounds good, provided I don't have to deal with stressful deadlines or pressures.

Explanation
*##*That's totally awesome - this job is structured to reduce stressors dramatically. You don't have to 'sell it' ... just 'show it.'*##*Sorry; we don't have anything for you right now... thank you for your consideration, and please check in later!

2.

Sales should be rewarding. After all, sales activities create income for everyone behind the system! Does that sound right?
- A.
  
  Maybe, but I would rather earn a smaller amount for consistent work.
- B.
  
  I agree. I feel best selling something of clear value, for a great price, if I get a solid commission. And if my customers buy again soon after, shouldn't I earn more from that, also?
Correct Answer
B. I agree. I feel best selling something of clear value, for a great price, if I get a solid commission. And if my customers buy again soon after, shouldn't I earn more from that, also?

Explanation
*##*GREAT, because this job is structured that way. You'll find it easy to create repeat customers as well, so keep your leads handy!*##*Ah - in our case, we would rather pay more to incentivize better work habits. For us, results are the reason for a Sales Team.

3.

Can you pick up the phone and call small businesses who never heard of you, to offer them something great that you understand fully, you realize will be of benefit to them, that they can understand, and will cost them little?
- A.
  
  I've never done it, but if it's legitimate and easy enough for me (and pays well) I'm game to try!
- B.
  
  Isn't it illegal for me to call businesses to solicit things they weren't expecting to hear about?
- C.
  
  I'm aware that it's legal, and I already sell products and/or services to companies. I'm curious about what this sellable is.
- D.
  
  I sell website-related services to companies (and/or individuals). Let me see what you've got! :)
Correct Answer
A. I've never done it, but if it's legitimate and easy enough for me (and pays well) I'm game to try!

Explanation
As you probably already know, you are free to call small businesses to offer anything that could be of value to them (you're not expected to know... you're calling to ask, suggest, recommend or consult). What we offer is applicable to everyone you'll call!

Rate this question:
4.

Would you like to sell websites to small business owners, if there is an easy demo to show, and we give you all the leads?
- A.
  
  Definitely - just help me understand why our websites are worth their consideration.
- B.
  
  No way... websites scare me to death. I can't imagine selling a website to anyone.
- C.
  
  Not me! I couldn't tell the difference between a good website and a bad one -- even if you train me!
Correct Answer
A. Definitely - just help me understand why our websites are worth their consideration.

Explanation
This is a business where we sell websites - quality ones: beautiful, with easy-to-use admin panel and great features. :)

Rate this question:
5.

How do you feel about working with no supervision? Without having to clock in/out? (Are you a self-starter?)
- A.
  
  I am more than happy to work on my own schedule, as I wish, when I think best - with the purpose of getting paid. I'll be glad to learn enough to see how to sell these websites and then hit it!
- B.
  
  I'm not that good at working without supervision. I would rather work somewhere that expects working hours, has a dress code, and pays overtime if I work over 40 hours/week.
Correct Answer
A. I am more than happy to work on my own schedule, as I wish, when I think best - with the purpose of getting paid. I'll be glad to learn enough to see how to sell these websites and then hit it!

Explanation
Although we have bigger options for the self-driven, hungry-for-money guys out there -- we train anyone who is willing to make calls and work to earn with our program!

6.

If you can handle making sales calls, it's pretty easy to earn a 6-figure income working only part-time (on your schedule). What goals will you have over the rest of this year?
- A.
  
  I want to get moving hard and fast, and I'm local (Seattle, WA metro area)
- B.
  
  I want to get moving hard and fast, but I'm not local. I'll learn from your online videos/documents and run this from my location.
- C.
  
  I see this as a cool hobby; a tool to make some cash on the side, to pay off my car, schooling, rent, or go on vacation. Or earn some quick cash if I'm in a pinch (like if my car breaks down).
- D.
  
  I'm a college/university student - for me, this can replace or offset a time-demanding job. That way my schedule gets easier to maintain, and I can upgrade to a better place with great roommates... or none!
Correct Answer
A. I want to get moving hard and fast, and I'm local (Seattle, WA metro area)

Explanation
Whether your goals are big or small, we're here to help! If you're LOCAL, we can work with you personally. If you're REMOTE, we'll provide you video and documents to help you understand this platform and start selling ASAP. How far you want to take this is up to you!

Rate this question:
7.

This program pays out weekly. That way, you don't have to hit daily minimums - we'll review your average performance after each week.
- A.
  
  That's cool! It relieves the pressure of hitting daily goals since they'll be averaged over the week!
- B.
  
  I would rather earn monthly. It's slower. But I'm used to it. (Sorta... not really.)
Explanation
By paying out weekly, we can give you room for slower/faster/busier days without your needing to report in to take time off.

Rate this question:
8.

As an Outside Sales Rep, you're not an employee of our company. We will 1099 you (taxes). This means that you're an Independent Business Owner, and we act like a vendor who fulfills your sales (immediate delivery upon purchase). Are you ok with that?
- A.
  
  Yes - just let me know how I present myself, my relationship to your company and your products.
- B.
  
  No - I wanted (or needed) you to hire me as an employee. (But I realize that I can do this on the side of a different job I still need to get!)
Correct Answer
A. Yes - just let me know how I present myself, my relationship to your company and your products.

Explanation
Whether you have (or get) another job, this is here for you to work with whenever you want to make some solid money from home. All you need is a cellphone and a laptop/desktop, and a quiet place to make calls from. The websites & commissions are really awesome, so you might just quit that other job as soon as you realize you can do this one. :)

Rate this question:
9.

You just need a cellphone, laptop (or desktop), and a quiet place to make some calls. Do you have access to a quiet place to make some calls?
- A.
  
  Yes, I have a place to myself for a few hours each day, much of the time.
- B.
  
  Not really, but I guess I could park my car somewhere and call from it to start, until I can get a place to myself.
- C.
  
  Not yet, but I'll figure it out!
Explanation
Anywhere you can have conversations is best. Often you can 'rent' a space for as little as $2/hour where you can close the doors, set up your laptop, and make calls... it's a good way to start if you need to harness some room to work!
