A few years ago, 4P Research Mix and the IQS and Quant Group1 published research defining the eight personality traits of an ideal salesperson. These include: leadership, assertiveness, empathy, diligence, extraversion, positive thinking, openness to experience, and emotionality. Since perfection is so rare in nature, we decided to narrow it down to the two most important traits. It turned out that the most successful salespeople are primarily characterised by leadership and extraversion. While it’s impossible to ‘become’ an extrovert, that is, a person who draws energy from the environment, is social, and likes to be the centre of attention, leadership is a competence that can be honed and systematically raised.
