You could be asked questions such as:
Talk me through a time that you have visited a client, how did you make the appointment and what was the visit about and how did it go?How do you monitor progress and set actions plans in place?How do you keep up to date with company standards and processes?What do you do before visiting any new client?An interviewer will be looking to assess how well you will behave in front of clients and how authoritive you will come across as well as being able to build relationships and work together.
If you do your research thoroughly into the company and the job role then the rest comes down to you and your personality for this role.
Good Luck.
