Brandwatch Sales Development Representative SDR interview questions

I recently went through a comprehensive two-week interview process that included two rounds of interviews with two Sales Development Representatives (SDRs). In the initial stages, we had a productive discussion about my qualifications and my motivation for the role. However, during the mock sales call segment, I noticed that the SDRs were quite critical of my performance, despite what I felt was a well-handled response to objections in the mock call. Their feedback, unfortunately, was disheartening and, at times, came across as unprofessional. While constructive criticism is valuable, the manner in which the feedback was delivered raised concerns. The SDRs even questioned why I had applied for the role, which left me with the impression that they might have had preconceived notions about me based on my prior employment history. They even suggested that sales might not be the right fit for me. I'm now taking the time to reflect on this experience to determine if there are any lessons I can glean from the feedback. However, it is essential that interviewers maintain professionalism and courtesy when interacting with candidates. Constructive feedback can be given in a respectful and fair manner, and it is crucial to ensure that interviewers are unbiased in their assessments of candidates.

Well thought out and structured interview process. Each step was made evident in advance and I was kept in the loop as to where I am in the process and what the next steps would be. Every person involved in the process was friendly and easy to talk to.
