After being contacted by an internal recruiter and talking to the hiring manager on the phone, they scheduled five Webex interviews with other SAs and VPs. These interviews focused on industry knowledge, ideas, and collaboration. I emphasized at every step that I didn't have sales experience, and was told it wasn't important, that industry knowledge was key.
I reached the final interview, where a sales representative joined the Webex and questioned me extensively about my lack of sales experience. This point could have been addressed honestly upfront, saving me two months of effort.
