So, first, they want you to introduce yourself, talk about your background, experience, and career goals. Then, they asked about my sales experience, key achievements, and how I build client relationships. After that, it was about insurance knowledge, like what experience I have with insurance products and services, and how I'd explain insurance benefits to clients. Lastly, they asked about building and maintaining a professional network and strategies for expanding connections and finding business opportunities.
