Answer 2

IR usually refers to Industrial Relations? I have interviewed hundreds of people for all kinds of jobs. So first to the advice on how to conduct yourself. Salary come last not first. You answer questions, not ask them until invited The moment you walk though the door the interviewers have got a good idea of the person they are looking at. If they are experienced they already know they are on a 50-50 chance of success whatever happens. If there is a small panel one person will be the leader identify him as quickly as he identifies you. When asked a question only look at the questioner. Fix him with your personality and presence and don't let him off your mental hook until you finished what you want to say. Don't lie, and above all don't try to kid anybody. If you don't know, don't just say you don't, say , 'That's an interesting point I hadn't thought about. I will correct it at my first opportunity. Or something like that. You are selling on commission something that's unpopular with everyone. How to do it? Cold calling needs tenacity and self belief but first you must sell yourself. Make your call and leave your card since you don't expect people to be available. Suggest a time and when rejected give them an an alternative as if confirming it. On your second visit display the wares and their differences and ask them about their investment reasons. If things look uncertain tell them you can see they have a lot to think about and make a third appointment. On this one you must close the sale. The product must be the best for them. They have to believe you believe it, and you do, otherwise stop selling. Don't overstretch anyone's ability to pay long term. From day one your first objective is to make your first and every client your friend and their adviser. You want referrals not punters, you want a network not cold calling forever. One more tip, watch the commission side of it and find out how much you would loose if you left after one or two years. Good luck.
