You give me a pen to sell for you? I'll simply get a sheet of paper for you to write on knowing you just gave me your pen. then you say, I don't have a pen. Good! now you're buying mine. 5 Likes |

I think its also important to understand the Benefit(s) of the Pen too. You can't only concentrate your Points on it value. How doe it work?! What makes it unique?! How is it modelled and designed?! The package also is important! If nothing is special about the Pen after checking its details and value, then you shouldn't sell it at all costs, rather be scientific with your Response. Tell the Interviewer what you observed, why it's not marketable yet, and make a Recommendation(s) on what should be done to bring out the Uniqueness in the Pen. Don't be to curious to get the goddamn Job, rather show them you are simply applying to work with them, not to work for them. 1 Like |

when interviewers ask u that question.... just try to sell that pen straight to him or her -> tell him is one of d best pen in town -> let him know that that pen can be use on over 200 books and their will still be ink left in it -> tell him it is a magic pen for intelligent people? name other features tht can compliment the pen the drop it on the table and look straight in the interviewers eye shikenna |

lilfreezy:I read most comments in-here back to back and I realised nobody actually was able to explain it the right way. I was asked the same question in 2016 at the oral interview conducted by a foremost telecoms company in Nigeria with an orange colour or logo, after sacling through the rigours of 3 consecutive aptitude tests. The 3rd test was simple but tricky. We were told if we scored 75 out of hundred at the end of the test duration which was set at 20 minutes, we would proceed for the oral interview slated for a few days after the tests...I happened to be one of the fortunate few. We were 11 in number, out of the mammoth crows of applicants who came to Unilag from all parts of the country. We were about 350 in number . After the oral interview, only 8 out of 11 were employed and I happened to be one of them. The problem we Africans have is, we don't read. Before interviews, an applicant is expected to read like he/she's gong to prepare for the final exam in the higher institution because of the brains of applicants that are also coming to participate in the same interview, for just a limited slot...it's a competitive world. Instead of me explaining further on how to sell a pen...it's always the usual question which many have failed and which many more will still fail anyway....here is a link which I believe would help. http://senatorclub.co/best-answer-to-sell-me-this-pen-i-have-ever-seen/ Cheers! 5 Likes |

awelekiti: Thanks a lot. Although I've seen/read that article, I wanted to get it from someone who has experienced it first hand in Nigeria and how to excelled. In as much as the write-up was brilliant, you would agree with me that some Nigerian interviewers would want something different. This is why I need to know. |

lilfreezy: I've seen something like this before. Lemme try. To sell the pen, you have to ask the buyer look beyond the quality of the pen only. "Here is a reliable pen unlike any other. I once signed a million dollar contract with this pen. It's consistent, reliable and durable. Think of what you can achieve with this pen-no limitations. Have you ever been in a situation you need to note something down or seal a deal and the average pen just blurred out? Well, here is a pen you can used for years with sustainable perfect readable ink on any paper. This pen is being used by top executives of multinational companies on a daily basis to seal deals worth millions of dollars. It's their preferred choice for signing the biggest contracts you can possibly imagine. Avail yourself of the same experience they are having daily. We give refund to unsatisfied customers but believe me, none has ever claimed it. Take one of these pens and experience all the wonders of innovative technology crafted into one piece.

ayindejimmy: You are so correct, see scenario below, be the judge. Selling a bottle water Eg 1 xyz water is unique,its odourless, its tasteless and it has been certified very safe having gone through the purification process. Its surely the best ma. Eg 2, Addition to the above eg remind the consumer that the bottle water contains zinc, which aids digestion, diabetes, cancer, etc. Which would prompt you to make a purchase my friend? |
