Sales & Operations Manager
Get him talking. Work out if you could build something together.
Opening
"Good to catch up again mate. Today's really just a chat. I want to get to know you a bit better, hear about your background and what you're after, and tell you a bit more about Clean & Seal and where we're heading.
It's a big role for us, so we're doing it in a few stages rather than rushing. Today's just about seeing if it's a good fit both ways."
The best question you've got: "Oh really, tell me a bit more about that."
- Grew a team? How big?
- Grew sales? By how much?
- Ran a business? What were you personally looking after?
- Skip or reorder anything. He's sizing you up too.

Tell him the story. You're not hiring someone to keep things ticking over.
"Now you've heard a bit more about where we're heading, what are your thoughts? Could you see yourself being part of it?"
His questions for you
Closing
"Awesome mate, appreciate you coming in. Like I said, we're taking our time with this because it's a big hire for us.
Next step is a one-day trial. You'd come out with us, meet the boys, see how it all runs, and we'd get a feel for how we work together. I'll get back to you on next steps."
