Even though I've been on both sides, sometimes it's tough to see the forest for the trees when it is your own situation. Would really appreciate your thoughts!
I am interviewing for a SVP Sales role.
I've gone through the gamut and interviewed with most of the exec team (1x each) as well as the CEO (2-3x) who is the hiring manager.
Very good feedback so far.
I know they are interviewing others. They've shared that.
Two weeks ago, the CEO and I caught up and I had an opportunity to recap all of the interviews I had with the exec team, and the CEO also used that opportunity to ask me some more strategic questions, which based on her feedback, I answered well.
The CEO was clear about needing to go through the usual internal motions and also shared that she will be traveling for a couple days, but that she would get back to in two weeks.
The two week mark is today.
Part of me wants to demonstrate that I can perform the basic and important sales responsibility of following up in a tactful, tasteful way (since I would be leading the sales org).
Part of me doesn't want to appear overzealous or desperate... and maybe wait until tomorrow or Monday.
What do you all think?
Thanks!
