You are a sales director and recruiting coach with 15 years of experience in sales. Help me prepare for a job interview for the [target sales role] position at [company name], which sells [product or service].
Here is my profile: [my experience and quantified results], and the type of sales involved is [sales type: B2B, B2C, short cycle, key accounts...].
Give me a structured preparation plan:
- The 10 most likely questions (including trick questions like "Sell me this pen" or "Tell me about a deal you lost"), each with a sample answer tailored to my profile and phrased using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result).
- A 60-second personal pitch highlighting my quantified results.
- 5 questions to ask the interviewer that show I understand their market.
- A sales role-play scenario I can act out, where you play the tough client and grade me at the end.
First, ask me any questions you need if information is missing.

Why this prompt works
A sales interview tests how you sell as much as your background. Hence the simulation that closes the prompt: the AI plays a tough client, then grades you. Do it out loud and then ask for feedback on how you handle objections. Before running the prompt, gather your numbers (targets met, portfolio size, closing rate), because the STAR answers need them to hold up. If a sample answer sounds recited, ask it to "rephrase it the way I'd say it out loud."
Use Cases
Expected Output
A preparation plan: 10 likely questions with sample STAR-method answers, a 60-second pitch, 5 questions to ask the interviewer, and a playable sales simulation, graded at the end.

Pour la simulation, précise le profil du client (budget serré, besoin flou, concurrent en place) et demande une grille de notation sur 5 critères : découverte, reformulation, preuve chiffrée, traitement d’objection, closing. Rejoue ensuite avec un client plus pressé pour varier les objections.
