Joining TeleStar: What Candidates Ask Most (and the Answers You Need)

At Telestar, we believe in transparency and growth. Every candidate who comes through our door is looking not only for a job but also for a long-term career path. After reviewing several recent interviews, we noticed that many questions repeat themselves. If you’re preparing for an interview with us, here’s a quick guide to what usually comes up — and what you can expect as a future member of the Telestar team.

1. Why Choose Business Development and Sales Development?

Many candidates want to understand what makes the Business Development Representative

(BDR/SDR) role so valuable. At Telestar, this entry-level position is more than just sales outreach. It’s the foundation of our work with global SaaS and software companies.

 You’ll learn to identify the right target companies and decision-makers.

 You’ll gain hands-on experience with LinkedIn, email, and phone outreach.

 You’ll develop resilience, communication skills, and confidence in working with international markets.

For many of our team members, this is the first step toward leadership, management, or specialized roles.

2. What Does Training Look Like?

Training is one of the most common questions we hear. And rightly so. We want you to feel

confident.

 Month 1: You start with training — learning tools, scripts, and the Telestar approach.

 Month 2–3: You move into probation, putting your training into practice with real outreach.

 Ongoing: Even after months or years, training continues. We believe in constant

improvement, so you’ll keep learning new skills as you grow.

Most people feel fully confident in the role after 3–4 months.

3. What Are the Biggest Challenges?

Almost every candidate asks this. The truth: the phone calls can feel intimidating at first. Many Vietnamese professionals feel nervous about speaking English with foreign clients. But remember - it’s a skill that improves with practice.

We don’t expect perfection from day one. What we do expect is the willingness to try, to make mistakes, and to learn from them. That’s how you grow.

4. What About Salary and Bonuses?

This question always comes up, and we value the honesty. Here’s what you can expect:

 Base salary: Entry-level ranges typically start from 7–10 million VND depending on your

background.

 Performance bonuses: On top of your base, you can earn more through booking qualified

meetings, hitting targets, or excelling in campaigns. Some employees add several million

VND each month from bonuses alone.

 Growth opportunities: As you move into sales or leadership positions, commissions and

long-term client revenue sharing make the earning potential much higher.

5. What Is the Career Path?

Many candidates want to know: “Where can I go from here?”

At Telestar, career paths are flexible:

 From SDR → Team Leader → Manager (a path some reach within 1–2 years).

 From SDR → Sales with commission-based earnings.

 Or even into specialized analyst or technical roles, depending on your strengths and

interests.

Your career is yours to shape. We provide the opportunities — you bring the drive.

6. How Long Do I Need to Commit?

We invest heavily in training. That’s why we ask for a minimum commitment of six months. In reality, most of our successful team members stay much longer — two to three years — because they find Telestar’s environment motivating, supportive, and rewarding.

7. What Makes Telestar Different?

Candidates often ask what sets us apart from other outsourcing or sales companies. Our answer is simple:

 International exposure — you’ll work with global clients from Australia to North America.

 Supportive culture — mistakes are part of the learning process, not something to fear.

 Real growth — your success is measured not just by numbers but by how much you learn

and improve.

Final Tip for Future Candidates

If you’re preparing for your interview, focus on showing us three things:

1. Motivation — why you want to grow in sales or business development.

2. Resilience — how you’ve handled challenges in the past.
