Sell

Maybe you’ve been here before? You’re doing well in the interview group activities. You’ve been through the slides and now it’s time for your one-on-one. You’re doing pretty well with the questions. Then, the interviewer pulls a pen out of their ass and says to you, “Sell me this pen!” I just read some comments on a Facebook post, where it became evident that in a sales job interview, the question is often asked to “Sell me this pen!” I’ve been asked before and I remember the dread of being put on the spot and panicking. Oh crap! Wtf am I going to say? I probably spewed out some embarrassing dribble of how nicely it worked. Maybe, collectively we can find a genius answer to this age-old, over-inquisitive (and maybe stupid) question. Do you have a great answer or funny story to sell the interviewer a pen or something else?
