What are the qualities of a good sales people? What sets them apart?


Many people think that top salespeople are just born with a certain level of talent and skill, but this is not the case. Salespeople are truly passionate towards achieving their goals and managing relationships with their customers. In fact, there are many different characteristics that all top-notch salespeople share.


Here are some qualities shared by the best:

  • They don’t take it personally when someone declines to purchase their product or service
  • They know how to handle rejection without getting discouraged and giving up
  • Their confidence goes beyond numbers — they believe in themselves even if no one else does!

They are often very goal oriented, driven to succeed, and they know how to read their audience extremely well. They can adapt quickly to changing market conditions by being flexible without sacrificing performance. Sales is all about relationships and it is important to build trust and ensure satisfaction with every deal. It should be authentic instead of transactional.

By being 100% responsible for all the results, and not taking “NO” personally, top sales people are intensely goal-oriented and comfortable in approaching strangers even when uncomfortable. They are great networkers who know how to collaborate with others for mutual benefit. In fact, there’s no one kind of person who is destined to be at the top-notch level when it comes to marketing and selling something online. So what does this mean for you? It means that your success isn’t predestined either – you can learn from these traits and emulate them if desired!


Salespeople have apparently mastered the art of multitasking and using state-of-the-art technology. They constantly juggle with getting more leads and closing promising leads, and do require automated platforms to be able to manage their administrative tasks effectively.
