The interview process commenced with the Sales Recruitor reaching out to me via LinkedIn. I agreed to speak with her on the phone and was impressed with how candid she was about the role and what they were looking for. Salary and expectations were immediately something they sought to gain alignment on, which I appreciate.
I then met with the person who would become my manager - another great call that tested my basic knowledge of Sales philosphy and strategy. I was able to tell my story and ask questions that would give me an understanding of her management style and what success on this team would look like.
I then entered a mock discovery with the manager and the Director of Sales The recruiter did a fantastic job of preparing me for this. There were no trick questions - just a test of how you run a discovery call with a prospective client. Anyone with basic sales training should feel comfortable jumping into this, taking the feedback given live and applying it for another go at it.
Lastly, I met with the regional VP. This was more of a culture fit assessment and it was a great conversation. I was offered the job later that day.
