Brand Ambassador Interview Questions

Brand Ambassadors promote a company’s products and/or services through online and offline channels. They help build a strong brand that creates new sales opportunities.

Your future hire will be the company’s face to the public, so look for highly professional people with a flair for customer interaction. Your ideal candidates will be excellent communicators. They will have previously researched your company and can present its products/services positively.

Keep an eye out for candidates with experience using social media for business. Provide candidates with hypothetical scenarios to test how they react to clients’ questions and comments, online and offline. The most competent among them will reply accurately and gracefully. Be sure to ask candidates about their flexibility if the position requires traveling or working after hours.
