Do You have the Personality to be a Salesperson?

There are a number of traits that assist in the creation of a natural seller:
Cheerfulness
Salespeople who are always cheerful (or behave that way) are most appealing to buyers. No-one wants the company of complaining or depressing people. Buyers certainly don’t want to hear about a salesperson’s bad day or headache.
Strength
Knowledge and confidence give strength. Buyers instinctively know if a salesperson is strong or not. A stronger salesperson will be firm in standing by their company and will refuse to concede to unfair demands from the buyer. A salespersons appearance and the way they carry themselves will also contribute to their perceived strength. Always dress smartly and never slouch. Remember that the buyer forms an impression of the salesperson in a matter of seconds. Excellent grooming and coming across confidently are still signs of a good business person, and that gets the salesperson instant respect.
Other factors that indicate strength are:
- Enthusiasm
- Admitting mistakes
- No boasting
- Asking for advice from competent others. (People warm to those who ask them advice).
- Never criticizing unless it is absolutely essential. When someone invites you to criticize, what they are usually asking for is praise (sometimes accompanied by feedback which is delivered in a positive way).
- Judging for yourself, and not relying on others to judge for you.
Friendliness
Buyers can often sense whether friendliness is real or not. A friendly personality is not about charm, but warmth. Other factors indicating friendliness are:
- Remembering names and pronouncing them correctly.
- Not trying to be funny all the time. Constantly telling jokes becomes boring, feels forced and unreal.
- Tactfulness
- Giving praise
Sincerity
This is about being genuine. Other factors indicating sincerity are:
- Loyalty
- Being a good listener
- Looking at the person you are conversing with. Don’t let your eyes go wandering or the person you are talking to will know you are not genuinely listening.
Understanding human relations is one of the very best assets a salesperson can have.
