Sales Interview

I have an interview with a prominent economic consulting firm here in NY on Thursday and its a sales role.

I desperately need this to go well so I was hoping to hear how those who work in Sales or S&T fared in their interviews. I've been told sales interviews are much more difficult then others (I have a modest sales background but have good pedigree elsewhere).

What should I be working on? How should I cover my lack of sales experience?

Any ideas/sites/articles to read would be great. I have pretty good knowledge of the firm so not worried there.

Any help would be welcome!

Thanks!

Assuming its going to be a macro/fixed income focus.....

know where all the benchmark tsy rates are be able to explain the twist and what it did/which end of the curve was driven down and for what purpose know where libor is 3m 6m and 1yr and what it is in my FI S&T interviews a common question I got was pitch me a FI product, followed by pitch me something that is completely unrelated to finance (i pitched the spread offense in college football)
