It was just a quick 5-minute phone call to start. They brought up the pay, and honestly, after that, there wasn't much more to discuss. They mentioned a base of 30k and an OTE of 65k-70k for the first two years. For the area I was looking at, the base pay is actually below minimum wage, and the OTE barely covers basic living expenses.

We had an open house at a hotel, with many applicants scheduled every hour. I met one-on-one with the hiring sales manager. He made it clear that they were interviewing today to narrow down the applicants and would bring back the finalists tomorrow. The interview lasted about an hour and they asked your typical interview questions about your previous employment. They were definitely looking for an experienced outside sales person who is skilled in making cold calls and developing a new territory from scratch.

I met someone at a hotel and the manager seemed like a great guy. He wasn't the manager in Las Vegas but would be my boss's boss. It went well, I just don't think the base salary was high enough for my level of sales experience. Maybe next time they can have a major account executive or a senior level position.
