Interview
The company stand by its value s and gives you all the support to prepare for the interview . My recruiter Leanne was amazing .
My mentor who I met through networking a long time back supported me through out the process. Recruiter interview is basic 15 mins calls to see your experience one or two questions about why sales force , always mention your kpi,s .
Hiring manager interview was a pleasant experience and since we have the mock call in this round . The hiring managers gave me the exact same feedback word to word through the recruiter , which I told them after my mock call I was asked "about two positives and negatives " after the mock call.
I felt that could have been more specific since overall it went great I covered all call to actions discovered priorities and deal size , made contracts every thing mentioned on call brief . I did try to jump deep into to pain points and also showed curiousity but due to few vague answers in between I had to quickly switch to questions I could get more specific ans to .
Tips for mock calls cover at least 3 priorities .
Complete call in 15 mins
Research your prospect and his company to give a better direction during the call.
Build a repo be ready for at least 2 pushbacks in the beginning gk and 2 in the end while booking meeting
I tried covering 3 priorities which could go a bit longer but they expected me to deeply probe each of them acc. to feedback and finish the call in 15.
