Interview
It is a three interview process. First you meet with the Recruiting Manager and tells you about the company and what you will do. The second interview you meet the Branch Manager and they ask you to have your friends and family fill out surveys and test how well entrenched you are in your local market. The last interview you meet with the Branch Manager again and the people who will be training you. The trainers are apart of the interview process to see if you are able to be trained. During this time the Branch Manager reviews your surveys and your potential selling market and if they believe you can succeed you get an offer.
