I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2013
Interview
Phone Interview with recruiter- very standard questions, but make sure you know as much about salesforce's products (not just CRM) as possible
In person interview in SF- Nice offices but kind of static. It isn't culty like other people have said on glassdoor, but It seemed very corporate (quiet, not a lot of smiles, everyone typing away).
First an interview with a sales rep- very friendly girl. Not that bright but friendy
Then a panel interview with sales managers. Make sure you know the products inside and out, and make sure you can show that you are fine making a ton of calls a day and doing just that, developing leads and nothing more.

I applied online. I interviewed at Salesforce in May 2025
Interview
The interview process consisted of an initial phone screening, followed by two rounds of interviews with the hiring manager and team members. The questions focused on sales experience, problem-solving skills, and situational responses. The process was well-organized and communication was prompt throughout.

Question 1
Can you describe a time when you overcame a challenging sales objection and how you handled it?
I had several initial conversations with the Human Resources gatekeepers that were all are flawless. Leads to no second interview with their multi step interview process. Would rather talk with AI bot instead.

Interview
Absolutely amazing. Wanted all of the information without even having to give my exact options in the future. Nothing bothered me in the interview. The intviewer led me down the correct path.
