VMware Enterprise Sales interview questions

Just chatted with VP Sales and then he looked me straight in the eye and said, "Why YOU?" I did not receive an offer for this job, and concluded that they are looking for dyed-in-the-wool enterprise sales people with ca. 10 years experience. I come from a non-traditional background and so should have had a better answer for that question. They need people who can hit the ground running immediately since they are up against Amazon and Google.
