I have not applied yet. Usually reading the job description it's a bit intimidating. I've officially only worked as a software developer but have not worked in a sales role other than building my own SaaS from scratch, and selling it to other people. I've been considering an entry level sales job to fill that gap before thinking about this role, but is that not necessary? Could it be possible to go into this role directly with only an engineering and some entrepreneurship experience? well my email is john@appsonify.com if anyone wants to talk.

Applying for jobs is like sales. If you apply and get rejected, you can ask why you were rejected and use the information to calibrate your next attempt. Entrepreneurship is sales experience. In fact, it's the best kind. Lots of people can develop a product, but getting people to use it (and pay for it!) is really hard and requires sales skills. It's even harder when no one has ever used the product before, and you don't have the benefit of a big brand or glowing testimonials. Someone with your skills and a passion for sales will be a lifeline to many companies. If you don't end up as a Sales Engineer, you could also be on an implementation team (meaning like a customer advocate, not like IT implementation). There are lots of things you could do.
