Hiring manager was patient and communicative, but apparently said I was "too empathic" to be a good sales rep without training. They said I was perfect in terms of company culture, but they weren't sure if I would be a good fit for the sales-aspect of the position in the time they needed a new rep. I was not tested in my ability to sell anything to the hiring manager. I was only asked company-guideline behavioral questions and then a few the manager had prepared of their own accord. I was told they appreciated my intelligence in my answers, but they worried that while I had a "good understanding" of the sales process, I wouldn't be able to execute it efficiently. This was odd since they didn't test me in a sales-roleplay.

This was for a remote role. The recruiter reaches out to make sure you can meet all of the training expectations. They also explain that during the 8 week training you are expected not to miss a day. For me the distance to travel daily was a bit to far but I'm glad I knew upfront. Everyone I spoke to was very friendly and are genuinely looking for the right candidate for the role.
