Donโ€™t put it on such a pedestal. Itโ€™s an interview. Focus on your skills and crush it.

What can I expect in the call? I am used to product interviews, this is my first sales interview.

Yeah, the FAQs might be worthwhile pinning as thereโ€™s an abundance of newcomers - @Gatsy worth taking a look?

Iโ€™m in iOS so in case itโ€™s already there I canโ€™t see it

Best way to handle a sales interview is to tell your story. Talk about your path to where you are today, share the accomplishments that make you who you are (an asset to the Salesforce team).

Be specific about your accomplishments, dollars closed, quotas hit, etc.

Most important piece of advice, be passionate but be yourself.

Make It Happen! Good luck

Good luck! Let us know how it goes, and try to relax.

Do some deep breathing before you head into it.

Wishing you the best. You have excellent advice on the interview already, but remember, this is one step. They also indicated there's a hiring freeze, so this may not immediately lead anywhere - don't get discouraged.

first off calm down. its a cool thing, but it should not be THAT important.

I say that not to kill the vibe but to prepare you that the call might not be that awesome.

normally the first calls are pretty boring and straight forward.

make sure you are ready, know what stories you want to share if asked but dont hype your self up to the point that you get too nervous.

now when you get an offer that you excep? Lets throw a fucking party!

You got this savage! If no oneโ€™s mentioned it yet highly recommend this as a closing question when the interview is wrapping up.

Based on what we talked about, is there any reason you wouldnโ€™t hire me?

If they have a reason, address it, if they donโ€™t then ask what next steps are. If they say something about needing to talk to someone else and then theyโ€™ll get back to you, ask for a timeline so you know when is a good time to reach back out and avoids looking needy.

You got this!

Thank you,@anothersalesgiy. I am still under consideration on their job portal. So that's a positive sign.

But yeah, treat it like any other interview and don't let it get to you if they say that they're on a freeze rn and will keep you in the pipeline till then.

I mean, yes. It might be for you. For me it's different because it helps me get my foot into a global company.
