Gainesville, FLPosted Oct 2017 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for a commercial account-style path and the journey involved field exposure and multiple leadership conversations, all centered on whether I wanted the territory work.

Commercial sales step (territory + commercial account roles) — I spoke with the commercial sales manager for the territory and a commercial account manager as an initial screen.
Ride-along — I rode with the commercial account manager to see the day-to-day and gauge fit.
Travel interview — I then traveled for additional interviews with the commercial sales manager plus an RPP and a DM for the area. Outcome: I didn’t receive an offer, but the overall feel was practical and role-specific—seeing the territory and matching expectations was key.
