What this test is for

Hiring for a shift lead or agency manager who can deliver hard feedback without losing the team?

Sample question

A senior chatter manages three whale accounts generating 40% of monthly revenue. Response time has slipped from under 2 minutes to over 15, and one whale has complained. When you raise this, the chatter says they are “just tired” and implies they might quit. What is the correct next step?

  1. A)Reassure the chatter and redistribute the whale accounts to protect revenue immediately.
  2. B)Document the performance drop, set a clear written improvement target with a two-week timeline, and schedule daily check-ins while keeping the accounts assigned. (the strongest answer)
  3. C)Escalate to agency ownership immediately and recommend replacing the chatter.
  4. D)Accept the explanation, monitor for another week without a formal conversation, and only act if a second complaint comes in.
