But sales jobs are different

For sales interviews, phrases like these may be appropriate:
- I really want this job. Am I going to get it?
- I think I earned this job. When am I going to receive an offer?
- Did I get the job?
- I’d like to start right away. When can we get the paperwork out of the way?
The following bid-for-action questions give you some wordings to ask for the job with varying degrees of directness. Each one of the questions can serve as a proactive close to the main part of the interview. Each of these questions has been field-tested and, in the right circumstances, has been shown to work. In other cases, the questions may backfire. The risk is that the interviewer may regard you as cheeky or insolent. Study the situation well and tread lightly.
