I’m starting to feel defeated but yet I’m still hopeful. I’ve gone through 12 interviews with Salesforce, yes 12, since Aug. ‘21. And I’ve had great feedback but just get that “an internal grabbed the job. The timing isn’t right, but try this team”. I have 7 years of Business Dev. experience and 4 years of Enterprise account management with a portfolio totaling $24mil in revenue ‘21. Any tips for a hopeful AE? Anyone willing to connect and I can share my resume?

Working for Salesforce isn't all it's cracked up to be. You could probably do better working for an SI or another tech company in the Salesforce ecosphere.
