When the organisation is taking interview of the each candidate, I need to find that what

can set the different target for the candidate and then find that what the standard performance of
the candidate is. Sales interview is totally based on the target and sale pitch. When the candidate

grow in the future and this is the reason they have left their previous job.
4. What are the ideas you have which make crazy to the business outcomes?
In respect to develop systematic ideas, various candidates seen that they are clearly
developed skills and capabilities to know about the ideas that could be impact on the
performances. For this they communicate some innovative and creative ideas that help the
venture to implement new things in the business. Other than that other candidate have stated that,
