Strong communication and organisational capabilities
A high level of self-motivation
Ability to work towards set targets and your own personal goals This is a role where you need to be able to build rapport, have good listening skills, identify customers needs and offer the most appropriate solution.
This kind of sales needs a person who is focussed on the client and on offering a solution that works for them. It involves building long term, trusted partnerships.
