Traits of a Good vs Bad Salesman | What It Takes To Be A Good Salesman

What’s the difference between a good salesman and a bad salesperson? It’s not as simple as, bad salespeople can’t sell and good sales people can. Well, it’s a lot more complex than just having the skills to sell, but also having the personality traits and attributes needed in sales to succeed.

So the difference between a good salesperson and a bad salesperson is their actions. For instance, a bad salesperson tends to push their agenda onto the prospect rather than understand their needs and help them solve their problems successfully.

Therefore, you should never meet a salesperson that isn’t friendly because to be a good salesperson; you’ve got to have soft skills to get along with people. You may have even heard this old expression - "people do business with people they know, like, and trust."

Ultimately, not every sales professional has the qualities it takes to become a top performer. Join Tom Abbott, creator of SOCO/ Sales Training, as he explores the specific traits that distinctly separate the good salespeople from the bad.
