Phone Screen Script for Capital Equipment Reps

Capital equipment sellers fail interviews for different reasons than consumable hunters. Use a focused phone screen to test cycle length, committee fluency, and install discipline—then post a specialty-matched role.

Cycle realism

Can they narrate a 6–18 month deal?

Committee map

Biomed, clinical, and economic buyers.

Install truth

Demos and go-lives reveal maturity.

Must-ask phone screen prompts

  • Walk me through your last capital evaluation—champion to PO
  • How do you win when biomed prefers the incumbent?
  • Describe an install that went sideways and recovery
  • How do you forecast without optimism bias?
  • What is your cadence with clinical champions vs economic buyers?

Pass / fail signals

  1. Pass: names stakeholders and sequence without prompting
  2. Pass: owns a failed eval with a process change
  3. Fail: only talks product features and “relationships”
  4. Fail: cannot describe VAC / capital committee motion
  5. Next: post a capital-specific role and shortlist matches
