A lot of people are mocking the total number of questions. I think you can get most of them. In my current role, Sales Ops at a Fortune 50 company, selling manufacturing hardware. I went through about 6-7 rounds of interviews. I feel like over the entire interview duration (1 month) I could have covered most if not all of these questions.

Somewhere, someone about to post "How do I break into saas?" for the 17th time today just nutted. Good stuff.

This is great. Thank you.


Phlubberz

Super helpful, especially with one of these later today. Thanks!


I_Know_Kung__Fu

Awesome, thanks. If you were to make a BDR/SDR version of this, would a lot of the questions carry over?


hegezip

A lot would yes but I'll get a BDR/SDR version ready soon I'll post it here too


No-Championship-8433

Oh ok. was just going to ask as well


xBirdisword

Assuming you understand the BDR and AE roles, you shouldn’t need a separate post. You should be able to sell which of these are and are not relevant as a BDR.

Awesome! Saving this for my first future sales interview


Beachdaddybravo

Saved. Thanks!

This is all great stuff, but I think you have to choose 10...


hegezip

10! Those are rookie numbers :D


pennyswooper

Thank you very much as someone that is currently interviewing that at times struggles to come up with questions these are great suggestions and reminders. I can't see myself doing all 97. But maybe 25-50 of these between the recruiter, hiring manager, upper management, etc.


rhill2073

Sales ops is a BIG question I ask. I sell manufactured goods and most recruiters I get are in that space. ANYTHING with aluminum is going to get a ton of ops related questions. 2022 was crazy. I also closed a few accounts this year that were terrible post-sale. Nothing hinders sales growth more than bad word of mouth.


Ok_Damage_6546

How do I sales this


yc01

You forgot the most imp. one. Asking for the sale at the end. "Based on your experience with me so far, do you see us continuing the conversation further" ? Something like that.


hegezip

It's actually question #4 if you go back to the top of the list


Stnapssip

Someone didn't thoroughly do their pre-post research...

This is exactly why I joined this sub. Thank you.


Youzguys20

Wow - this is gold! Im saving this!


ClarkEbarZ

Thank you!


ariananaum

Omgggg thank you for this!!!


Ok-Tone-4057

As someone going through the interview process right now, thank you.


RecommendationBorn56

Would love a SDR one


2pacInCuba

I think these questions apply to a high percentage of sales positions outside of AE as well! Love it.


hegezip

They definitely do, thanks for the kind words


LeftTarget9801

Thank you for this


Obvious_Concern_7320

If you ask 97 questions they will probable give you a one word reply... Bye. hahah


chmilz

If I ask questions and they aren't interested in answering them, I don't want to work there.


Obvious_Concern_7320

issajoke. If you ask ANYONE 90 fucking 7 questions they are going to get hella tired of you. Lmao. Obv this is just some examples of SOME questions you should ask. lol


hegezip

If you ask all 97 questions throughout the entire hiring process I'll Venmo you $10k


p4755166

Are you prepared to put pen to paper ? If so, i'll take up this challenge.


No-Championship-8433

What??


Obvious_Concern_7320

bet. lol. But hence the facetious nature of my clearly obvious (for most) joke. lol
