Having been successful a sales person off and on for many years earning a living and supplementing my income I have found that the main pre-requisites to good salesmanship are:
1. Know your product.
2. Believe in and trust your product.
3. Presentation.
If you lack either of these, your efforts will result in minimal profits at best. There are other good guidelines to follow but the absence of any one of these produces very little.
Any of the other guidelines depend on numerous factors such as;
a. Appearance-are you meeting people face to face.
b. Advertising-yes, how you advertise can affect your end result.
c. Self confidence in ones ability to present ones product, especially in person.
One can continue to elaborate on the many traits that make a good sales person but the first three above are the backbone of success. All others are trimmings for the overall package.
