Interview story check: will your sales story hold up when they ask why?

Paste a story to see the checks.

Bank every story and test it against the three follow-up questions. Module 2 of the Cloud Sales Interview Kit is a story bank with a strength bar. Written for AWS roles. £15 + VAT.See the kit · £15 + VAT

How the check works

This is a simple text check. It looks for a number and for "I" and "we". It also looks for outcome words and for words that give a reason. It does not read your story the way a person does. It is not AI and it is not expert review.

A pass on all four does not make a story good. A miss shows what to add. Add the number, the part you did yourself, the result and the reason.

What to do next

Questions

Is my story saved or sent anywhere?

No. The check runs in your browser. Nothing is sent or stored.

Is this an AI review?

No. It is a simple text check for numbers, your role, an outcome and a reason.

What follow-up questions should I expect?

What you did personally. Why you did it. What data told you that.
