Sample answer
How do you handle the objection 'It's too expensive'?
I first ask what they're comparing it to, because 'expensive' always means expensive compared with something. Then I tie the price back to the problem they told me about. With one client, I showed that our tool saved their team about ten hours a week, which was worth far more than the yearly fee. We closed the deal with a quarterly payment plan.
A model answer for practice — tell your own true story, in your own words.

What are common sales representative interview questions?
Tell me about your biggest sale. How do you handle the objection 'It's too expensive'? How do you build rapport with a new prospect?
Can I practise for free?
Yes — one 3-question interview a day, no sign-up. The 7-day Interview Sprint ($9.90 once, no renewal) unlocks full interviews.
Should I memorise my answers?
No. Memorise the stories (situation, what you did, the result) and practise telling them out loud in different words. That sounds natural and survives follow-up questions.
