Question

Are You a Good Sales Person?

Answer 1

And I only sell what I truly understand and believe in...

Answer 2

Not at all.

Answer 3

I have no doubt i would be more successful in business if i had the ability to sell myself better. Too often i put myself in the position of the buyer and empathise with his own situation as i am also a buyer in other fields and would also like to be treated fairly...maybe i'm just too ethical and cannot see myself being a 'snake-oil' or 'foot-in-the-door' salesman type but when it comes to debates i like to practice my ability to convince others of my own perspective and feel good if others accept my views...so keep the raves coming ;o))

Answer 4

The worst.

Answer 5

And I only sell what I truly understand and believe in...

Answer 6

Answer 7

And not try to sell someone something they don't want or need?

Answer 8

I don't sell anything lol

Answer 9

Never been in sales but with the type of work I do, important that they see it my way. If not, I am doing something wrong.

Answer 10

I don't like people much and I'm pretty sure I convey that no matter what my profession. Sales requires you to at least project that you do and I require that you leave me alone.

Answer 11

I'm not a big enough ***hole to be a salesman.

Answer 12

I don't believe in trying to convince people to spend their ****-earned money on something they don't actually need or want.

Answer 13

I didn't get to be sales manager over a 250+ person staff of sales reps without being able to sell! Love the art of the deal!

Answer 14

I can sell sand to an Arab ;)

Answer 15

Yes!

Answer 16

Yes I am.

Answer 17

Because I take no for an answer

Answer 18

Got an actual, living woman to marry me so, I mean, I must be.

The wedding didn't involve rope or duct tape. I felt obligated to mention that...

Answer 19

...but the honeymoon did.

Don't judge me...

Answer 20

I am very good at convincing people. One time I sold a service to the sister of the owner of our biggest competitor (his company and the company I was working for were very strong rivals). My boss was not able to believe her eyes :o)

Answer 21

Yes I am.

Answer 22

once in awhile I can sell myself or my own skills...I have sold products that I believe in...at least to some extent...but, no, when it comes to making a living selling products or services...it's not my forte...

Answer 23

A good salesman hasn't any problem stretching truth for personal gain. What part of that is honorable?

Answer 24

Depends on what i'm sellling.

Answer 25

I once sold headphones to a death person.

Answer 26

I can only tell the truth about anything. If that sells the idea or products - then so be it.

Answer 27

... but only with a product that has merit.

Answer 28

Couldn't sell water in the Mojave if I tried.

Answer 29

It all depends on what I am trying to push.

Answer 30

But only if I believe in the product and there's no pressure to sell. I sold insurance once when I was working my way through College and I often broke monthly sales targets and most of the time I just tried to convince people not to buy certain products that the company was pushing or to spend less, or explain how the company was trying to rip them off etc.

Answer 31

Learned from and had the best teachers. What products and services I like selling the most are those to people who really need and can afford them. Makes me very happy when I have a satisfied client.

Answer 32

I have always been to concerned about the cost of something. A good salesman, like a good gambler, has to have the attitude that money is not a problem if you get what you want or need.

Answer 33

Couldn't even sell cold lemonade to a man dying of thirst in the Sahara.

Answer 34

In my marketing MBA course, we learned a 3 step plan for sales.
Determine a need, create a desire, then close,the sale!

Answer 35

I never learned to be very manipulative.

Answer 36

I cannot sell you what you don't already want to buy.

Answer 37

I am probably too honest to be a salesman. I would be sending people to the competition if I felt they had a better deal or product.

Answer 38

But I really HATE doing sales. I'm very shy and it takes a lot out of me emotionally to be the friendly person a sales person is expected to be, to make contacts (if you're selling to a business, you're thought of as a nuisance), and extoll the product. UGH!

Answer 39

No because I am unable TO LIE TO SELL SOMETHING. IF IT'S A BAD PRODUCT OR ONLY OKAY i HAVE TO SAY THAT. IT IS NOT IN ME TO SELL SOMETHING i DON'T BELIEVE IN.

Answer 40

I could sell shaved ice to an Eskimo!

Actually... no. I can't sell anything that I do not believe in 100%. I think really good salespeople have to be a bit deceptive, and to me, that's akin to lying.

Answer 41

Depends on what I'm trying to sell.
