Sample interview questions
How would you conduct a discovery call with a Mandarin-speaking restaurant owner?

I would begin by confirming their preferred language and communication style, then use open-ended questions to understand their service model, operational pain points, current technology, and growth goals. I would summarize their priorities in Mandarin, connect them to relevant Toast capabilities, and agree on clear next steps.

Describe how you would turn an inbound lead into a closed opportunity.

I would respond quickly, qualify the restaurant's needs and decision process, run a tailored demo, and document stakeholders, timing, objections, and next actions in Salesforce. I would follow up with a relevant proposal, address risks directly, and maintain momentum through a mutually agreed close plan.

How do you handle a prospect who says their current restaurant system is too difficult to replace?

I would acknowledge the operational risk and explore what specifically concerns them, such as training, data migration, cost, or downtime. Then I would explain the onboarding process, show evidence relevant to their workflow, involve the appropriate specialists when needed, and create a phased plan that reduces disruption.

How do you balance meeting sales goals with providing a customer-first experience?

I focus on qualification and fit rather than pushing every prospect to close. By clearly identifying needs, setting accurate expectations, and ensuring a strong handoff to onboarding, I build trust that supports both long-term customer outcomes and sustainable quota attainment.

What metrics would you monitor to improve your sales performance?

I would monitor lead-response time, conversion rates between funnel stages, discovery-to-demo and demo-to-close rates, sales-cycle length, pipeline coverage, and attainment. I would review loss reasons and activity quality regularly to identify where coaching, messaging, or prospecting adjustments are needed.
