This Simple Question Exposes Sales Reps Who Keep Growing
Share This Article

Top sales reps don’t just keep up—they actively seek out knowledge.

To assess this, ask:
“How do you stay up to date with sales knowledge and trends?”

Then listen for the difference between passive vs. active learning:

  • Passive learners rely on push content: newsletters, social media updates, algorithm-driven feeds.
  • Active learners pull knowledge: attending conferences, reading books, joining webinars—things that require effort but provide deeper insights.

The best sales professionals don’t wait for knowledge to find them. 

They go out and seek it.
