What makes a successful salesperson? This is a question often asked. Research has shown that successful salespeople have certain characteristics and attributes that help them perform in what can be a stressful and competitive job role.

The range of sales jobs is vast and the skills and attributes required for success are very different. People who excel in technical sales, or selling advertising space, or selling large computer systems, or working in a busy telesales office, all have different attributes that make them successful at what they do.

Most people, who manage sales teams rely purely on instinct and experience to recruit, train and motivate members of their team. This can work, but often we see sales teams where the wrong people have been recruited into sales, or people with the right skills who are not being developed to their full potential.
