      Sales Associate Interview

      Jan 30, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Yext (New York, NY) in Jan 2017

      Interview

      Immersive, transparent, goal oriented. Throughout the phone interview I thought I was making a terrible impression. I began to get nervous, stutter, and derail. Little did I know when it came to questions I thoughtfully asked about management structure, training, personal challenges and so on. I can confidently say that helped me earn some brownie points. The in person interview was something I hadn't experienced before, at least in the order that it happened. After waiting in the lobby to be picked up by a rep, I was brought to a glass conference room with a sales script and phone on the table. Before doing any intros or personal elevator pitches I was asked to call the phone number on the paper and read off the script word by word over the phone. Once again, I was nervous, stuttering, and physically cold. To be honest, having dyslexia and being asked to read a full page of writing was such brain fart for me. As best as I could I tried to keep myself composed with an upbeat attitude. Thankfully after the call I was explained that me reading off the paper was not the ideal way to sell something to someone. At that point I had a sense of relief throughout the rest of my interview. Overall it lasted about 1.5-2 hours. Speaking to four sales managers. All of them bright, motivated, transparent, and extroverted. Each one of them had a distinct trait that helped me understand the type of workplace I would be a part of if I was hired. I had a wonderful experience interviewing with Yext and I'm happy have accepted their offer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about yourself? Why do you want to move on from your previous role? Why sales? Have you traveled outside of the country? If so, where? What country haven't you visited that you're interested in going to? Sell me on that country? Where do you see yourself in x amount of years?

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yext (New York, NY) in Jan 2018

      Interview

      Brief screening with one of the recruiters. Afterwards if they like you they'll ask you to come in and meet with the sales managers. You meet with each one and after doing so the training manager. Pretty straight forward process where they ask you goals and some simple motivation questions a swell.

      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yext (New York, NY) in Oct 2017

      Interview

      Started with a phone screening which lasted a standard 15-20 minutes. Standard question about why Yext, why sales, personal qualities that would help, and name a time when you have had to sell something. Then they brought me into the office for a full interview. First thing to do was read a script into the phone talking about the product and giving a pitch. I then met with three different managers of the sales teams for interviews lasting around 20 minutes each. It was a mix of fit questions regarding personal attributes and qualities, some more specific sales questions, and explaining the role, the company, department, and pay structure.

      Sales Associate Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Yext (New York, NY)

      Interview

      I applied online and the recruiter got back to me relatively quickly to schedule a phone call. The phone call went well (we discussed which start day would be better for me) and scheduled an in person interview with management. Throughout the process I was told they liked my enthusiasm, my work experience and that I was asking great questions. Needless to say I was not offered the position. I would like for the recruiter to reach out to those who didn't get the position instead of the generic email they send out. I'm not asking for a detailed written email but I would have appreciated some feedback.
