I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Altria in Nov 2013
Interview
I submitted a on-line application the Territory Manager position on 9/13, got email in October for Telephone interview. We had set it up for a certain time but because Talent Manager had other compromises it was changed two more times. She talked real fast which made me nervous but was professional. She did state that answers need to be based on SOARS or STARS. I did not feel comfortable but it was my first time.

Question 1
The Talent Manager who had worked herself up to Unit Manager asked me. What would you tell your retail account if you had agreed to a marketing promotion but later find out that Altria Management had changed the terms on that very day of the agreement.
I kind of felt this question was a Policy question that is known only to Altria, but then I guess they want to know how you would of handled it with your previous company.

Question 1
How would you pitch your sales story to this specific client?
First step was to answer screening questions and submit a resume. Second step was a pre recorded interview where you had to record yourself answering several questions and respond in writing about salary expectations.
3 steps - Behavioral, case study, and shadowing a manager. Very casual interview process. Focus on the STAR method and it'll be fine. For the case study you have to sell in a product by influencing the prospect with data and insights they provide
