Multiple ways to approach this:

1.If it's a product often used (say pen or a notebook), then "Great to know that you are extensively into writing and how would would like to see a better writing experience?"

2. If it's a very specific product (say a service or specific product like heavy machinery), it is better to assume that the interviewer falls amongst the target consumers. So it can be started with " I saw your company profile and we do see you use a lot of hardware retrofit works from suppliers. I am ABC from XYZ business and think can help you maximise the productivity/output of your business.

Some points that can help:

Showing proof that you have studied the customer profile

Get on to the point regarding how your product or service can help, as quickly as you can.

What immediately comes to mind is the scene from Wolf of Wall Street, 'Sell me this pencil.' The winning sales person, takes the pencil from Dicaprio then asks Dicaprio to write his name - That's hard to do without a writing utensil. The purpose is to prove that he NEEDS the pencil. While not as dramatic or cool - I would recommend tossing this question back to the interviewer. Your goal is to dig deeper and to understand why they need whatever your selling - Usually, this can ascertained by simply asking, 'why'.

The best way to answer this question is the following:

1/ Find out how they last use a pen or what they do ( this step for gathering information about their job)

2/ Emphasize the importance of the activity they last used a pen ( now you make them think how much his job is important for the company)

3/ Highlight an emotional use for the pen ( sell him not just a pen but something bigger for example big deal for him and for his company and the importance of having that pen in his hand in that time)

4/ Hand them back the pen and close the deal (better to close it with this phrase: this is your big deal, and give him the pen).

Try to know his needs to the product and sell him he needs, not the product and don't waste time mentioning the pen's features.
