What do truly successful salespeople do differently? What separates the continuously successful salespeople from the merely average? In this article, we will show you what you need to do to change your approach to both your work and life to truly achieve stellar success, and identify the personality characteristics of the best of the best in sales.
Psychological resilience
As a LinkedIn Pulse article states that the best salespeople are mentally resilient. They don't fold when they face failure, they don't get depressed when a client rejects them, and if something goes wrong, they see this failure an opportunity for improvement.
Personal mission
Business is all about money, and it's not surprising that salespeople are chiefly motivated by money. The top sellers, however, see their work as their mission, and they very much care about being the best among their co-workers and being respected by both their colleagues and their clients as excellent professionals.
Interest in the sales field
Some salespeople end up in their profession simply because they didn't manage to find another. Moreover, what's even worse, some of them in consequence have a lukewarm attitude towards their profession. Top businesspeople, however, are proud that they work in sales, they're interested in what's new in the field, they follow the newest trends and they keep educating themselves.
Engaging the emotions of a client
Top salespeople are aware that it is extremely important to appeal to clients' emotions, and that is why they focus on getting on the same wavelength with their clients on a personal level. Likability and giving a good impression form the main difference between the best businesspeople and the less successful ones.
