      Trainee Business Development Manager Interview

      May 10, 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Live Innovations in May 2016

      Interview

      Saw the job posted on reed.co.uk and was pleased to find that they accepted people with degrees but no experience and vice versa. Went to the interview in N. London and it was just a couple of questions with the MD who seemed like a nice enough guy. Was invited back the next week to tail a member of the sales team. When I got there it turns out they they are outsourced sales company who are those annoying people in the shopping centre and high street selling credit cards. I was made to stand on the high street with a pen and paper from about 10:00-16:00 in a suit in the blazing heat jotting things down as if they were running some kind of complex operation. Towards the end of the day they explained that the job was 100% commission i.e. £0 - £24,999 OTE (as opposed to the £18,000 - £24,999 OTE listed in the job advert). After that I thanked them for their time and left, with one of the sales people telling me they were probably going to quit as well.

      Hi, We appreciate your feedback. As is explained in our advertisements and website, we are an outsourced sales and marketing firm specialising in pop-up events and In-Store promotions across London. We apologise if there was any miscommunication and you were expecting something different. We work with a number of different clients, and your experience was with our finance campaign. We are surprised by your observation experience, we have a tried and tested interview process to ensure that we get to know applicants, their work ethic, student mentality etc, and also so they get a full insight into what we do, the clients we work with and where they could potentially fit in. As a growing company we have opportunities for business development which would have been something that would have been discussed had you had the final interview with our MD. Kind Regards.
