I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Sherwin-Williams
Interview
Management discussed the roles and responsibilities and asked about previous selling experience. Was substantially easier due to already working for the company. Walked through previous customer experiences and problem solving situations. Storytelling was a large piece of the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are some ways you handle objections or difficulties during the sales cycle.
A multi stage hiring process, very basic behavioural questions. First round starts with your sales manager; second round with the District Sales Manager, and then a panel interview with VP of sales & HR. I also had to prepare a territory plan and present it to my sales manager.

Question 1
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? What’s your leadership style? How do you approach sales?
The interview was intercompany and was conducted via teams. Didnt feel like it mattered as the decision was made prior to the interview. Afterwords it took a while to get the response back I was looking for.

I applied online. I interviewed at Sherwin-Williams (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2023
Interview
The interview was formal. I found the questions to be quite standard: Tell us about yourself, what interests you in this position? What are your strengths and weaknesses? Provide examples of a conflict you experienced in the workplace and how you resolved it.
