I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Yelp (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2011
Interview
Applied online via Yelp.com, had a quick 10 minute phone interview with a recruiter - she asked what I knew about Yelp, what I knew about the ad products they sell and asked me to pretend she was a salon owner and sell her on Yelp.
In person interview, rotated thru 3 people over about an hour. Each person asked basic questions: Favorite college class, why work at Yelp, etc. I also had to do a mock sale with each person. They seemed to mainly want you to ask questions about the what the customer was looking for before starting your pitch. I also threw out basic sales terminology which seemed to hit the right note with each interviewer.
Interviewers were each just a couple years out of college.
Standard filtering/fluff questions followed by a Mock sales pitch. It was not very different from other Sales/CS roles that I have applied to. It was not very difficult or novel at all.

I just had a quick screening call, and it was really focused on sales, more than on customer service. Cold calling is a big part of the role, and commissions don’t start until about 6 months in.
