Connected with sales recruiters in the area for a company as I had just left me previous employer. He set me up with a great manager here. I had a phone interview with the sales manager and he was extremely talktive and they have an immense focus on "talking you out of the job" and seeing how you respond to it. This job is no joke and the people I have spoken to about it have said it is 100% a hunter role and you have to be willing to generate multiple leads, appointment and sales a day.
If the phone interview goes well, they bring you back for an in person interview to go over your resume and they will try to find mixups or further explanations about your resume. So, know your resume front and back. They also make you do a personality word association test as you show up while waiting in the lobby.
After that, they bring you back for a full day ride along and a presentation on the company and yourself. After that presentation, you interview with district manager who will again try to poke holes in your resume and ask question in regards to your personality word association test. Be yourself and tell the truth, less to remember. I know some people like to lie and in this interview process they will catch you.
If that goes well, they will set up a call with the zone manager who oversees multiple locations. This was a great conversation and it was more about getting to know you, why Unifirst, why sales versus something easier? He was a great guy and sold me on the job.
Also, having a strong sales manager who will motivate you, work with you and help you grow is an undeserved asset in sales these days, so even though I was offered more money somewhere else, I chose UniFirst due to the sales manager of my team and the zone manager. They are completely dedicated to your success.
Always close at the end of each step, as for reservations and/or the job. Ask a lot of questions about their ideas on what success is, how they measure it, what the recourse to a missed quota is, and what their management styles are like. This gave me the insight needed to chose them.
