I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at ADP
Interview
2 interviews (one with sales executive and one with VP of region); not intimidating, really straight forward and recruiter guides you every step of the way
i was an intern and then interviewed for a full time position so it was little less than what is normal for an interview process from what i came to understand but as long as you show you are motivated it will go well for you as this is an entry level sales job
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1) i am an eskimo; sell me this bucket of ice
2) sell me this pen
3) what is the best color
4) how do you make a table
5) what is the capital of maine
6) what quality would make you a good sales associate
7) how would you describe yourself
8) a customer ordered enough paper to qualify for a volume discount now wants to return half the stock. you can't rebate the sales price or credit for future purchases cause you brokered the deal for a 3rd party. what do you do?
Interview is behavioral-based interview questions that ask for stories/"tell me about a time when" to figure out if you are coachable, good work ethic, have goals, are resilient, etc. Be prepared to speak to different experiences you have had and various stories you can tell about them as it relates to important qualities in a B2B sales person (handling rejection, building relationships, being coachable).

Question 1
Tell me about a time you were frustrated by change
It was a fairly quick interview process. I did a phone screen with a recruiter. Next step was an interview with the managers and the VP. I also shadowed a rep in the field for a day
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ADP (Salem, NH) in Feb 2024
Interview
Interview process was seamless, and the hiring team did a great job keeping me in the loop. It was three steps; first with the recruiter virtually, second with the VP of Sales virtually, then the final day was a full day comprised of an interview, a shadow, and a role play, Again, recruiting team did a great job preparing me for everything. They appreciate honesty and a willingness to want the job. I asked for the job at the end of my final interview, and then received an offer before I left the building. From recruiter contact to job offer, the process was less than three weeks.
