You want to show the ability to see the long term, big picture view. Here are some questions you might ask:
- what are your top 3 priorities in the next 6 months, and how you can help them to achieve those goals?
- [competitor A] is doing well in [area X], what’s our strategy to remain competitive? (You need to do some research here to have an opinion)
- where do you see the company going/growing in the next 2-3 years? (Be prepared to share your own thoughts here)
- considering this is a strategy role, you might want to ask how the leadership team define the corporate strategy to ensure long term success and still take customer feedback into consideration

Do recruiters and Hiring Managers actually review and read resumes? Also tech companies that sell SaaS, what is it with the requirements of having 10 years or more if technical sales experience? Also the ramp up period is not realistic. Average sales cycle for a reputable SaaS provider is 12-24 months. How on earth a start up can state that their ramp up period is 90 days? The company hasn’t had any new sales either. Start up CEO’s… be realistic or seek enough funding to operate.

Expecting an offer this week or early next week, but want to know when you start negotiating the salary? When you receive the call from the company or wait until receiving the formal offer letter? And how should the negotiation start? Through phone calls or emails? Didn’t use recruiter for this position, so I don’t know what is the process here.
