1.A hunters mentality.\u00a0A salesperson should be like a fisherman who wakes up everyday excited about the “big fish”. This is someone who is willing to go through all of the networking, leads, and information to put themselves in the position to land an account.<\/p>\n
2. Modesty. Contrary to conventional stereotypes that successful salespeople are pushy and egotistical, 91 percent of top salespeople had medium to high scores of modesty and humility.\u00a0Also, research suggests that cocky, egotistical salespeople actually alienate more clients than they close.<\/p>\n
3. Curiosity. Best described as a person\u2019s hunger for knowledge and information. According to Harvard research, eighty-two percent of top salespeople scored extremely high curiosity levels. Also, the top half of\u00a0salespeople sampled were more curious than the bottom half. This is because a curious nature correlates to being\u00a0interested during sales calls, which leads to asking a lot of questions, giving them the information needed to close.<\/p>\n
4. Thick Skin. Being self-consciousness can lead to a sales person being\u00a0bashful, which can inhibit their willingness to take risks.\u00a0Top salespeople need to be comfortable fighting for their cause and are not afraid of rankling customers in the process. I work in Crimson Calling and if I let every missed sale get to me than I would live in fear of the next call. Having the thick skin to push through potential failure can lead to a successful sales career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
