During 1:1 conversations, questions revolved around sharing examples of sales cycles, working with AEs, prioritization, technical skill, etc. During the panel, I was asked pointed questions about the value associated with the technology, from different personas.

1. About Salesforce - values, principles, markets, unique aspects 2. Salesforce products knowledge 3. Understanding of the role type questions 4. Examples from past experience 5. Why Salesforce? 6. Suitability to role? 7. Questions that aim to validate one's technical understanding of Salesforce products - even if conceptually 8. During the panel presentation of tech topic (since mine involved AI), specific questions like which algorithm would one use? 9. Panel presentation should be on a topic one is comfortable with - here's your chance to shine, but also present something you know well!
