do u need passion or just a positive attitute to suceed in sales ?

Question

being passionate is very exhausting e.g. when u coldcall and get rejected most of time. does positive attitude suffice in your experience ?

(assuming u have necessary product and communication skills)

Answer 1

you need to have one or the other at all times. If you wake up with a bad attitude one day then you MUST have passion to get the job done anyway. And if you are lacking passion and drive, then you need a positive attitude so that you don't ruin sales opportunities for tomorrow.

Answer 2

There are two kinds of products - tangibles (like a car or an item of clothing) and intangibles (like insurance) - and not everyone can sell both.

Like somebody above said, you got to really believe in what you are selling. If you do, then the passion will show through.

I suggest getting some of Brian Tracey's books or CDs and pay serious attention to what he has to say.

Answer 3

Know the product(s) inside and out, and maintain a positive attitude, especially in times of stress.

Answer 4

You have to believe in whatever you're trying to sell. Not everyone wants everything, however, if you come across that the product is WOW, this will translate. Good luck!

Answer 5

Successful people love what they do and are passionate about it. The trick is finding out what you want and taking the risk to do it.

Answer 6

I hope you tell the people who you do business with that you are a pedophile.

You other questions make me sick.

Answer 7

Answer 8

both
