Here is an excerpt from a sales lesson I provided several years ago.
To succeed in Sales a person needs:
- Average or better health
- The use of an average or better brain
- High self-confidence [Thick Skin]
- An open and curious mind [Thin Skull]
- Self-discipline
- A penchant for action
When these 6 exist, everything else falls into place.

Great suggestions Rick. I would also add excellent listening skills. It is very important to listen to what your customer's needs are. Once you understand their needs, you can hopefully tailor a solution or provide a product or service to satisfy those identified needs.
Thank you, Valerie.
So far, about 30 people have helped me review and improve the 'list of 6'.
Based on these recommendations, "Listening Skills" will be included.
I will present the revised list in a future blog....likely in early August.
I wonder about the best ways to help people measure and develop their Listening Skills...
