This is what you do. In the middle of the interviewing process you ask, Do you 
mind if I put you on the spot? They all say okay...then hand them a pen and 
say, "Sell me this pen."

Whoever sells it the best, wins. Afterall, the bottomline of the job is 
selling.

Has always worked like a charm for me. Plus you get to see who thinks quick on 
their feet.
