Interview tips straight from the Growth advertiser sales hiring team
- Industry enthusiasm – “Taboola sellers are industry experts, meaning they’re always tuned in to what’s happening in their verticals and the performance marketing world. What projects related to media or technology have you worked on? What posts or articles about trends in the digital advertising space have you written? Don’t shy away from your industry knowledge or showcasing your engagement in the space…we’re looking for someone like you!” Daniela Rulkowski-Sarpi, Director, Growth Sales & Account Management.
- Showcase your unique self – “Instead of solely relying on resumes, we seek to understand candidates fully. We prioritize personal narratives and transferable skills, creating an environment where genuine connection and unique perspectives are valued in sales and diverse personalities can thrive.” Kim Peterson, Team Lead.
- Data-driven storytelling – “To help advertisers maximize their marketing budget efficiency, sellers must continuously test new approaches, and leveraging data is essential for guiding these discussions and making informed decisions. How have you used data and analytics to deliver an effective campaign or give an impactful sales pitch? How have you exceeded targets, developed key accounts, and built strong client relationships?” Marcelo Martins, Team Lead.
- Handling objections – “A necessary component of any successful sales role, understanding the common objections like budget constraints, tech limitations, concerns about brand safety, etc. will be key. More than being a sales pitch pro, focus on active listening by asking the right questions and tapping into your storytelling abilities. We really want to see how you demonstrate your interest in solving the prospect’s challenge to turn them into a client.” Robin Estrade, Team Lead.
- White glove service – “We’re known for going “beyond” – not just with our advertising platform, but with exceptional white-glove service. Building relationships and trust and making clients feel valued are core to our approach. From the first meeting, we aim for transparency and expertise, driven by genuine curiosity in their business and candid recommendations about how we should engage to establish a win-win long-term partnership. We’d love to hear how you ensure every client touchpoint reflects this level of customer-centricity.” Kelly Basinger, Team Lead.
