What are important skills to have for sales?
I have hired and partnered in business with countless very good salespeople and at this point can identify them in an interview with a fair degree of certainty.
GREAT SALES PEOPLE have these 4 qualities in abundance:
- Excellent Communication skills- they are good talkers.
- They have self-confidence and thus can handle rejection like water off a duck’s back.
- They are highly motivated to succeed.
- They have more energy than your normal person. They have a bounce in their step.
