Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One a scale of 1-10 how good of a sales rep are you?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Enterprise Mobility (Union, NJ) in Sep 2011
Interview
I applied online through the website. I received an email from the recruiter about 2-3 weeks later. After a series of emails I set up a time for a phone interview. There was a lot of back and forth with this process and everything was last minute. The phone interview was basic questions about myself and some past sales experiences. After the phone interview I was invited in for a 1 one 1 with the recruiter. Interview went great and lasted about 1 1/2 hour. He asked more questions about my sales experience and career paths. He immediately scheduled me for the branch observation.
The recruiter sent me a detailed email on how to prepare for the branch observation. Now here is the kicker. I was under the impression I would see how business is actually done and what a day in the branch would be like. I cleared my whole day for this. I arrived and was greeted by one of the three people I would possible be speaking with. I waited for 20 minutes in the customer area. At no point did I get to see ANY branch operations or procedures.
I was finally taken into one of the offices and met with the Store manager and Regional manager. The Regional manager was very nice and personable. He answered all of my questions and gave me a lot of insight. The Store manager was not friendly or personable at all. I think it was Good Cop-Bad Cop. He did not ask me any questions and just stared at me the whole time. I knew after that...it was a no go.
About 3 days later I received the generic, "Thank you but we are going with someone who fits our needs..." email. There loss, my gain...

Question 1
Describe a time you went above and beyond for a customer?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Enterprise Mobility in Oct 2011
Interview
(i got the job so keep reading and rate)I applied online for the management trainee position and recieved a phone screning call from the recruiter 3 days later. He asked basic questions like what was my leadrship experience, sales experience, why I was inerested in an opportunity with Enterprise. That went well and I came in 3days later for a 1 on 1 interview with the same recruiter similar questions were asked in additon to what makes a good leader, describe a difficult sitation or customer and how I dealt with it and a time I had to persuade someone. That went well and he told me he thougt I would be perfect for the position and the following week I had an interview with the Area Manager and did a Branch Observation with an Assisant Brach Manager. There was a lot going on so I tried to be very observant and get a feel if this was something I wanted /could do. I loved the envionment and the fast pace.
The interview with the Area Manager was my favorite he was extremely passionate about the company and his role which made it easy for me to feed that energy back. He asked me how I would overcome no or challenging customers and what are qualities of a good leader, he asked how do you know if your successful and what drives and motivates me and where do I see myself in 5 years he really loved my responses and was excited to move me to the final interview which happened 4 days later with the Group Rental Manager. This one was less intense. He didnt even have an interview sheet he basically looked at my resume and asked me to talk about myself and experiences. He asked me again what makes a good leader and why I thought I would be a good fit. he wanted to know how I felt about the values of the company (which u should be familiar with and the mission) and I sold myself on my drive, my intiative and my readiness to get on board and kick the heck outta the position. ANNNNNND that went well he extended an offer on the spot and I accepted! started 2 weeks after that LOVE IT!
Suggestions: do research in the company and the advancment process from within. The position is a lot of work for not a lot of pay but if you do it well and to the best of you ability you'll be advancing and promoted before you know it. Be enthusiastic, passionate, driven and sell yourself. your leadership experience and sales experience is a plus. If your a good conversator and know how to think on your feet this will be easy but if not I suggest practices 3 or 4 good examples or points you want to make and intergrate that in the interview. AND ask about their career path how they got started etc because you SHOULD genuinely be interested in your potential and see yourself able to attain their roles as well in the future.
