⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Failing to demonstrate specific sales metrics (e.g., 'exceeded quota by 20%') — vague claims hurt credibility.
  • Not addressing the commission-based environment — if you're not comfortable with variable income, this role isn't for you.
  • Ignoring the need for CRM proficiency — don't say you're 'familiar with Salesforce' without giving concrete examples of usage.
