Interviewed Nov 2009 in Foster City, CA (took 9 months)
Interviewed w/ the DM. DM put me in touch w the Sales Manager. The sales mgr, interviewed me and sent me out on sales calls with one of the AEs. Sales Manager is laid off. DM calls me and says he is still interested in me. Put off about 5 times over the next 8 months. Brought back for 2 more interviews in which I learned a very valuable lesson.... when the DM spends most of the interview complaining about his current sales staff being inept, it might not be the sales personnel, it's probably the guy sitting in front of you. Accepted the offer and listened to negative sales meeting after negative sales meeting for 6 months before I moved on.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Salt Lake City, UT (took 3 days)
1) Very brief phone-screen interview for site interview
2) On-site interview with Account Manager (over 10+ Account Executives). A digging into resume, skill set, situational questions ("how would you react.."), B2B, B2C sales background. Personality and skill assessment, as these roles the will train the right people.
3) From the on-site interview, went on a site-tour with Account Excutive to actually see day-to-day operations and sales in action. Toured with top-5 account excutive in the country prospecting (cold calling), following up with older clients. Watched him book $40,000 in commission in that afternoon. Not a typicaly process (and was stated by the Account Excutive "This is NOT typical! But it IS possible if you know your stuff!"
4) A few days later, setup phone-screen interview 1/2 hour with VP (or Division Manager?) over Western Territory. "Why do you want this position" "what value would you bring" etc.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Lower pay then secondary offer from company concurrently interviewing with. Not inclined for B2B sales. Market is very poor for B2B sales of companies which are not experiencing growth.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.
