I am interviewing for a Sales Manager role this week. It is internal and I have been a rep here for a couple years. I also did the Team Lead role as a transition.
I only have a couple years of sales experience and the hiring manager (director) said that their main concern is my years of experience and it will definitely come up in the interview. They also said that it is not a non starter.
Has anyone dealt with this before on either side or have any ideas to overcome the objection? (Without sounding douchey; ex. I learn faster. And put more work in then other reps)
