Tactical Marketing Concepts Account Management Interview Questions
& Process

I got contacted from my resume online. The first interview was with the president of the company. It was pretty casual and lasted about 20 minutes. It was basically questions about my resume and me. He didn't share much about the company, how it operates, or compensation. It's hard to tell what they do from their website. He kept mentioning a manager in training program and that he's looking for people to train as managers. A few days later, I had a second interview. I got to the office and was placed in a room with a TV along with four other candidates. After about 25 minutes, a "leader" came and drove me to a coffee shop for a more in-depth interview. This is where he explained the compensation structure. Apparently, everyone starts at entry-level and has to go door-to-door selling the company's products to advance to the leader position, where they then learn to train and interview others. He said entry-level reps make $300-$500 weekly on average but couldn't explain how. There's no base pay or salary, only commission. No insurance or benefits. When I asked why there's no base pay, he said, "We don't want to tell you what your value is!" which suggests they don't invest in their employees.

I put my resume on Career Builder and got a call from Tactical Marketing. They gave me some basic info about the Account Representative position and wanted to set up an interview with the hiring manager. I went in not knowing what to expect, but it wasn't a mass interview like I'd experienced before. I met with the hiring manager who told me more about the role and how the company grows. It was professional, and I noticed awards in his office, and everyone else seemed very professional. I was told there would be 3 rounds total and I'd get a call back if selected for round 2. I got a call back and met with someone else who went into more detail about the position and the potential for growth into management, which was exciting because of the entrepreneurial opportunity. The second interview was also very professional, and I was nervous because I had no experience in sales or a professional office environment. They called me back for the 3rd round, which was a background check and drug test. I couldn't accept the position because I was moving, but I would definitely go back to Tactical Marketing if I could because they were very professional and courteous throughout the whole process.

I got a call, and then went in for an interview. They asked some basic, simple questions that took about 10 minutes. After that, I got another call for a second interview. I'm pretty sure everyone got called for a second interview. The second interview basically covered the job description. The office seemed really young, which made me question the company's true nature. Ultimately, I didn't get a third interview or an offer.
