5 C’s in becoming a better sales person

5 Cs in becoming a better sales person

  1. Be Competitive:  In order to be a highly successful sales person, you must be competitive in nature.  As a sales person you must compete for your company to sell your product against its competitors. They must also compete against their colleagues to be the top sales person within the company and set the targets as high as they can achieve.
  2. Be Charismatic: – A charismatic person has the ability to form a sense of connection or understanding between themselves and their prospects. Customers view truly charismatic salespeople as not just sales reps hawking a product or service, but someone who they can have a real meaningful conversation with.
  3. Be Confident: – To go with charismatic behavior, a Sales person must show confidence and actively believe in what they are doing. They shouldn’t be fearful in receiving a negative reply from a customer or risk losing a potential customer. They also shouldn’t be over–confident in selling a product as that might freak out the customer completely.
  4.  Be Communicative In order to be a good sales person, you must naturally be a good and effective communicator. You must be able to express your thoughts, clear and concisely to your customers.  Even if you have a good sales pitch, chances are if you aren’t able to communicate it properly to your customers, you will fail in making a successful deal.
  5. Be a Critical Thinker One of the most important trait a sales person should have is to be a critical thinker. A good sales person should always think outside the box. Every sale that a sales person conduct wouldn’t be the same and hence they should be prepared for anything the customer might ask. A good sales person must be able to adapt to the situation and pitch a deal with the customer, which will benefit both people.
