If this is the job for you, it sounds really good. Make sure you are a Salesman– are you a go-getter? are you comfortable with cold calls? can you work well and stay focused without direct supervision? Be honest. If you can do all these, this sounds good. If the company has referral programs already in place so you don’t have to chase down every piece of new business, that’s very helpful.
The market is still in a down-turn right now. Why is this position open? Are they expanding? (Not likely) Did the last person quit? Were they fired for not making sales quota? Has the quota been amended down any to better suit the current market conditions?

English is a bit dodgy to be from a bona fide company. Did they contact you or did you contact them?
