I'm an Account Director at a creative agency and was recruited for a Sales position at Salesforce. The preliminary questionnaire entails lots of questions around quotas and achievements. My agency doesn't provide quotas. And because my role is post-sales not sure how I would even formulate this metric. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm not even sure if I want to go into sales but really don't want to pass up an opportunity at Salesforce. Thank you kind people.

If you can, show how you contributed to a colleagues quota as well as any revenue generated from your activity (e.g. upselling, contract renewals, or project budgets). Be prepared, sales and account management have dynamic differences. Make sure your base salary is at a level where you are comfortable. Hope this helps.

If you increased client scopes or brought in additional work streams you could highlight those. Also if you participated on any new business pitches you could leverage your experience there.

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
