Technical sales experience is preferred but can be substituted for an individual who proves to be driven and motivated with the desire to be successful in this career.

I realize the “driven and motivated” part is nebulous, but it is better than requiring 5+ years of direct industry experience.  Here’s the tip - strong salespeople have skills and motivations that transcend experience.  The best approach is to write the ad towards those skills and motivations instead of “time-served” experience requirements.
