Hello, I have an interview for a sales job at Indeed next week. A task or business case is to be solved here. Does anyone have any experience and can tell me what that might look like? THANK YOU!

Hello!
Yes indeed, in the Sales teams in Amazon, where I used to interview, there was also a business case.
The good news is that is simpler than the MBB or consulting ones, but the same principles apply.
Feel free to send me a PM.
Hope it helps!
Cheers,
Clara

Hi there,
Indeed not that easy to predict without any extra information. Leave aside that it is hard to predict in general for any job interview.

Hi, I recommend checking with hr the exact type of case without worrying about bothering them. They are there to help.
In the case it's going to be a live business case or a presentation case, I have material to prepare it
Best,
Antonello

Hi there,
Hard to say without a better description of your job title, email from HR etc. etc. I'd imagine you would be more likely to have "unstructured" case/brainstorming here.
That said, this site is for aspiring consultants, not salesmen so we may not be of much help!

Hey, would be better if you please provide more details with your question- what type of role have you applied for? What's your background? and what brief HR has given you regarding the case.
If you are looking for general case prep advice, there are dozens of threads in the Q&A forum and 100s of cases on Preplounge site.
