There are many different sales styles, and every person is different. Still, there are obvious characteristics that all effective and successful businesspeople share. Here is a list of the five most important.
Firm beliefs and priorities
A good salesperson doesn't change their principles and priorities too often. On the contrary, they are true to their priorities and reliable. That is why everyone trusts them and why they succeed in business. Both the company they represent and their clients can always depend on them.
Enthusiasm
As The Muse states, a salesperson should be enthusiastic about what they do and should believe in the product. If they aren't excited about the sector, the salesperson won't do the extra work that distinguishes the average from the best.
Exact numbers
Good salespeople don't grope around in the dark, they are supported by specific numbers. They know their exact stats and conversion rates by heart and tell you their plans and goals in precise numbers.
Long-term relations
A good business person thinks ahead and thus has long-term success. Short-sightedness brings only short-term, flash-in-the-pan successes in sales.
Experience
A good salesperson has a lot of experience. This doesn't just mean the time spent doing sales, but more importantly, the lessons taken from successes and failures, and also the way the salesperson thinks about their experiences.
