Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you like sales?
Have you cold called before?
How do you handle talking to someone you don't know?
What drives you?
What makes you better than all other candidates.
What do you see as a career path?
Why SPS Commerce?
Typical sales questions. Don't expect anything crazy. They will likely try and make you feel uncomfortable just to understand better how you would be on the phones.
As long as you show you are willing to put in the hours and that you are career focused they will take a serious look at you as a candidate.
First you interview with HR, then a Mid-Level Manager then a VP. I interviewed over zoom, however, the interviews are now held in person. The interview process is overall easy if you can articulate your sales skills in previous positions.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SPS Commerce (Minneapolis, MN) in Apr 2022
Interview
HR will interview you first and getting to know you. Afterwards, they’ll set you up with managers and higher up. Went through at least 4-5 people for interview questions and getting to know the team.

Question 1
They want to get to know you in your experience and personal life.
I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at SPS Commerce (New York, NY) in Dec 2019
Interview
Got a call from recruiter (pretty standard "how you fit" interview). Then received and invite to the office downtown for in person interview with four sales managers(two at a time). The first two of the interview process was more of a casual get to know who you are. The second two were more sales experience and capabilities oriented. Pretty much will "soft" grill you on your qualifications. Seems lengthy and a good way to discourage top talent from accepting offers.
