i always tell ppl make sure you have SOLID 30 second - 1 minute stories ready to go to answer these questions:

- tell me about yourself
- why are you looking to leave
- tell me about your day to day
- what are your career goals

also make sure you ALWAYS have 2-3 questions you are going to ask the interviewer at each stage of the process.

I would say its important during the mock sales meeting to do a lot of research of customer success stories. If you can use a customer story it shows you did a lot more research and learned the products

what @TennisandSalessaid. Not even the lazy answer but there's no need to write anything further

Account Executive - Mid enterprise
I take it the first principle way.

1. Understand the jD inside and out. What is it that they want from me. What are the things they need to hear.

2. What does this company do - how does the JD (or my future role) fit into this company's dynamics?

3. What is my ICP, who would I be talking to everyday?

THEN:
1. Who is my interviewer - what's his / her LinkedIn like?
2. Let me go through my experience, resume and LinkedIn once again. Just because.
3. What MORE can i bring to the table in this role.

That's all. I prepare for the interview in this way, mostly.

I was hired at a really good start up about 4 months ago for a SDR role that I was told I wouldnโ€™t be in for very long. Theyโ€™re gonna go public in the next year, but Zoom Info reached out to me about an Account exec position. Now Iโ€™m wondering if I should take the guaranteed route to AE or let my shares vest and get to AE at the place that took me. Usually I wouldnโ€™t consider jumping so quickly, but AE is AE.
