Tableau Software Sales Consultant interview questions

4-6 phone interviews then one webex demo of the Tableau Desktop with 5-6 people attending the WebEx pretending to be a customer. It lasted 45-50 minutes with curve ball technical questions.

After applying on-line, it took approximately 2 months for the interview process. After having several interviews, I was asked to perform a remote presentation of Tableau's software. All indications were that this went extremely well. As a result, I was asked to travel for an on-site set of interviews and perform the presentation again. At the beginning of the day it was indicated by HR that I would probable receive an offer withinn a day or so and equipment delivery and training schedules were already discussed. I then interviewed with numerous Sales executives and performed the product demo again. This time a minor mistake I made prevented a perfectly smooth delivery. Apparently, any mistake is construed poorly (as if you are supposed to have already been trained and worked with the software as your current job) I wonder if an existing employee were to make the same mistake if it they would be fired. The bottom line is that an offer was not extended. The feedback was that I was not aggressive or 'salesy' enough. That seemed a bit odd since I have helped sold over 200 million in software solutions during my career. Additionally, it did not seem to matter that I had a large network of previous colleagues that would attest to my abilities. Perhaps they believe that they someone over 50 can drink the company coolaid. Check the internal reviews, this is a very young company with very few over 40.
