LJC Business Partners Interview Questions
& Process

They called me in for the first round of interviews, which is a short 10 minute interview to get to know you a little better. When I got there other people were waiting for their interview as well. They kept the interview short to get through everyone. After that, if they want you back, they will call you back for an all day shadow interview where you are supposed to be there from 8-5 to learn how the company works.

I applied online and got a quick 10-min phone screen where they wanted to hear an upbeat and energetic vibe. A few days later, I went in for a short in-person interview with a few other people. I met Eddie, the President/Office Manager, for maybe 10-15 minutes. It was pretty chill; he asked about my past jobs, why I left, and what I'm seeking. He's really looking for folks ready to take a chance and learn sales from colleagues, aiming to climb the ranks and eventually manage their own office elsewhere. Two of us were invited back the next Monday for a working interview. We started around 9 AM with some pep talks and a pre-sales meeting, then hit the road with sales reps. I shadowed someone for the day, which was eye-opening. I learned the company and business are legit, with great, friendly people eager to invest in you if you're willing to step out of your comfort zone. They sell discounted office supplies for Staples, which is manageable since businesses already buy these things and you're just getting them a better price. There's potential for money if you're confident and work hard, and it doesn't seem like you're micromanaged, giving you control over your schedule. The downside is that while it's B2B sales, it's mostly door-to-door to businesses, and getting just 5 orders out of dozens of visits is a good day. The focus is on new clients, not so much on existing ones or building relationships. The whole business model has its issues and isn't for everyone. TL;DR: Good people who invest in you, and a solid place for sales experience if you're okay with B2B door-to-door sales.

There were two interviews. First, I met with the president to gauge my fit. It was a one-on-one meeting in his office and they kept it pretty relaxed. Second, I went into the field with another consultant to get a clearer picture of the job, as it was quite vague initially.

The first interview was chill and short, just a few questions about past jobs. The second interview was a full day of shadowing someone, also super relaxed, just showing what the job is like.
