They invited me to a coffee shop for an interview with a group of their regional managers. They’ll start off with some banter, then move on to the actual interview. They asked about yourself, why you want the job, past experiences on certain sales situations and how you handled those situations. That’ll continue to ask about you about phone, the phone sales industry. Basically, what do you know about the product (phones and their network updates). Lastly they’ll ask how long you want to commit to learning and growing within your role. They asked if I could stay for 2 years. A buddy of mine was asked for 1 year. If you can do that, you’ll have a higher chance of landing this job. At this point I should started joking with the boss and bolstered his jokes. I felt like I could relax a little at this point. They’ll start asking about your life, what hobbies you have, phone preferences and the like. And that was it. It seems like they’re always looking for driven sales people. They want someone who’s going to obsess over their product as much as they do, and they want someone who’s going to commit for at least a year. It seems to take about 3 months to get past the early mistakes, and 6 months to become fully confident in your sales process, so that 1 year gives them confidence to hire you. Personality wise, they want someone who can read the room, and give the people what they want. You don’t have to be a social butterfly, but it certainly helps if you are. My current assistant manager can put on a face when she absolutely has to, but overall she has a very low energy sales approach. Consistent in pitching different products, always seating for different wants and desires from the customer. On the other hand, my manager is that social butterfly, tons of energy, varied tonality, incredibly expressive. There’s many different people with many approaches that all seem to work for them, so don’t worry and be confident on your interview
