Salesforce.com Sales Interview Questions & Reviews

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 4+ weeks)

The interview process involves email communication confirming interest in pursuing opportunities at Salesforce.com, a telephone interview, a face to face interview with the recruiter, a panel interview and the presentation of a case study analysis. The process is very vague. I was never told what specific sales position I was interviewing for, let alone the scope or territory of the position. I was uneasy that my questions about sales methodology were unanswered and the continual emphasis during the interview process was on "the 60 day sales cycle", the "fast pace workplace" and that "you can make a lot of money here". It felt more like a boiler room shop than a sales organization. It was probably for the best that no offer was made as I don't think there would have been a good match.
