      Business to Business Sales Representative Interview

      Mar 19, 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Auburn, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Staples (Auburn, WA) in Mar 2014

      Interview

      I applied online and was contacted by email the following day. I interviewed by phone the next day and I terminated the process.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      This interview quickly revealed that this company wants young, inexperienced sprinters that want to prove themselves and be the star. They want people to do this over and over again with high quotas, unprotected territories with more than a dozen reps, and when you get burned out, you're done HR explained that this job has very high turnover because people think they can manage but can't and they are terminated. Questions: Won't it be difficult to volunteer, manage your family and work 40+ hours a week? You know this is an exempt position, right? What was a time you took someone at face value? Do you prefer to work in a changing environment or more consistent? Tell me about a time you used logic when others around you were basing a decision on subjective matters. Did you have a sales matrix in your last job? Are you a hunter or a farmer? When was a time you failed and what did you do? Tell me about a time you had to consider the emotions of another person when you were making a difficult decision. Do you make decisions more on logic or feelings? Why did you leave your last employer or would you have been happy staying there?
