Help! Job Interview presentation

Milo19

Hi there - I am currently out of work and things are now extremely desperate in terms of paying mortgage, arrears with council tax and generally up a creek without a paddle.

I had an offer of employment on the table, however the company involved would not include full remuneration in the contract, nor provide commission package and disclose other essential details. When I challenge this, the offer was withdrawn. Gut instinct told me this is fishy.

Fortunately, I have acted quickly and secure several interviews, and have a second one next week where i need to do a 10-15min presentation on "My first 3-6 months with my allocated customer base"

I have the basics, I've done a couple of slides on the first 90days, shadowing colleagues, integrating with internal staff, points of contact, systems and procedures, but struggling on 3-6months when I'm effectively let loose.

This has to go well as I'm desperate and things are very precarious

thank you for any help.

What would you expect the goals of the role to be? How would you aim to meet these? i.e. is it sales? do you need to maintain and increase customer base? You must have a general idea of what the position will ask of you so I'd try to answer how you will excel at that.

A lot of it is dependent on the type of role and industry it is. You could want to take the time to introduce yourself to your customer base, explain how you will benefit them and in turn how this will benefit the company. From there you could suggest a couple of ideas about how you might grow that customer base and the steps you might take to make that happen. If it's a set portfolio of clients then they might want to see how you can build trust and stronger relationships with them and how you would take the initiative to grow it.

Its a set client list which I am to managed and up sell into. I have put the first 3months would be to integrate with the business, shadow staff and learn the pitfall and problems that each division encounter to ensure I have a complete view of all parts of it. Also to review each account and its history and make initial contact with them. The following 3months would be to visit all of these customers. I have zoned area so zone 1 would be telford/shrewsbury, zone 2 stafford/crewe etc. that way i'm more productive than driving blind from one appointment to another. The interview is on Thursday so want to get this sorted and then I can practice it. Was planning to print it as well and leave a copy with each member interviewing me.

I've done these before and it is really important that you pay attention to the time allocated. In one I got so into the subject I went well over time and they had to stop me.

Not surprisingly I didn't get the job.
