Fellow Sales Warriors!
You are a scientist for NASA, get laid off, recover from improper triathlon training from one awesome physical therapist, one that is so good you open a clinic with them, figure out sales/marketing cold in 6 months (because you don't have funds to go past 6 mo), do more science for City of SD and SF, pandemic hits, working remotely, tasked with building out the Western Region sales team for a SaaS company, bring IBM/McKinsey/CA state government to the table in 2 months, with the IBM contact and your Director of N. American Sales as recommendations.
My question: what is the best way to pitch yourself so that people appreciate how incredibly difficult your achievements were and that you actually are capable of selling at the enterprise/AE level without a decade of sales experience?
