Who You Are

You’re a persistent and resilient individual, who understands that change is a part of every salesperson’s life, and you not only adapt, but look forward to change. You’re driven and influential, utilizing those skills of persuasion to negotiate with customers and help them find products and services that fit their needs while maintaining revenue. You understand that value is the most important part of any sales offer, and you’re not afraid to talk about price or the competition, because you know your offer has value. You’re a self-starter, who has a familiarity with technology. Your sales approach is consultative because you understand that the customer doesn’t always know what’s available to them, so digging deep and understanding their needs is more valuable than just taking their order.
