About the role
This interview tests whether you can learn an FMCG sales operation and contribute during outlet and distributor assignments. The panel is looking for commercial curiosity, comfort with simple numbers, practical organisation and respectful communication with retailers and colleagues.
How to prepare
- Learn how products move from a manufacturer through distributors to retail outlets.
- Practise explaining what availability, visibility, stock rotation and sales targets mean in a field sales role.
- Prepare an example of learning quickly and another of working with people to reach a shared result.
- Review a simple sales table and practise identifying the territory or product that needs attention.
- Think through how traffic, delayed deliveries and limited outlet time can affect a daily call plan.
Common mistakes
- Talking only about persuasion without showing how you would check stock and sales information.
- Treating every outlet alike instead of explaining how you would prioritise your route.
- Giving team examples that do not make your own actions clear.
