Sounding rehearsed or not is all in the delivery. An effective seller should know their product really well, and conversation should be relaxed amd fluid. Quite frankly all of your talking points should be well-rehearsed, so that you can be comfortable in the delivery.
Sound like the question caught you off guard, and that's why you struggled. It's because you hadn't rehearsed, not because you had.

I get the logic, but people are not products and that is where it gets messy. I can rehearse my achievements, but the whole point of the question is to sound natural. Once I start overpreparing, I sound like a broken voicemail. The timing is the part I dislike most because it turns self expression into a speed test.
It’s not far off from “Tell me about yourself”. You are selling yourself just the same in that question. You should always have your talking points for that.

I get what you mean, but the pressure hits different when the topic shifts from products to personality. I can talk through features and pricing without blinking, but summarising myself feels awkward. Talking points help, but they do not fix the panic of the ticking clock.
