Odoo Account Executive interview: product demo and pressured role-play

The interview opened with a group product demo in a random group. It quickly became a pitch challenge: I had to invent a business idea and sell it as if I were on stage. After my individual presentation, I was questioned right away about whether I could handle rejection pressure and keep a pitch organized under scrutiny.

It then shifted into role-play. I received a short instruction sheet just before it, with too little time to absorb it deeply. New details were added during the exercise, and I was expected to know Odoo's customer and partner processes. When I answered from assumptions, I was challenged.

I thought my demo and overall performance were solid, but the final role-play was the hardest part and decided the result. I felt I had shown I could sell and adapt, yet the rapid preparation and barrage of facts made it less forgiving than a normal sales conversation.
