Interview Question for Licensed Personal Banker at JPMorgan Chase:

I was also asked to sell a pen to my interviewer after talking about my sales skills. The interviewer kept insisting that he had a meeting to go to (brush off tactic). My sales presentation wasn't up to their par apparently (the interviewer told me so right away), so I asked to be coached (trying to show my willingness to learn). The answer they're looking for works something like this:

1) You try to sell interviewer pen
2) Interviewer brushes you off
3) Be persistent! Keep trying to sell the pen
4) Brush off continues
5) Make sure that the interviewer (pen customer) knows that their time is important to you and that you will leave a sample pen for them to test out and come by in a few days to follow up with the potential client

Persistence is the key, as well as follow up. I believe after asking to be coached that this is what they're looking for.
