It seems clear from the preceding discussion that, although definitely a factor, personality and physical appearance and abilities alone did not adequately account for Mr. Spencer’s success in his role as a salesperson. It seems his dedication and apparent drive to excel, as witnessed by his willingness to sacrifice family relationships, was perhaps a greater factor. There is also some evidence of a motivational and training element within the Tri-American Corporation, as evidenced by the annual company sales conferences, feeding into the findings by Churchill et al. (1985) that influenceable factors had a greater effect on salesperson performance. Finally, one cannot discount the presence of sheer luck in contributing to Mr. Spencer’s success, especially early on in his first year.
Firstly when being sales staff there is a lot of responsibility that you have to take in account. For example sales staff should have some understanding about the product. This includes features, benefits, and the cost of the specific product that the customer wants to purchase. For example if a sales staff were to sell a computer his/her knowledge should be:
The article Advertising: The Whole or Only Some of the Truth by Tibor R. Machan states that only telling the partial truth is ethical in advertising. I completely agree with the author’s standpoint and am trying to defend his viewpoints by supporting in four aspects. Firstly, I am going to prove Machan’s position that sales associates are selling a combination of product, environment and service. Although there will be various prices for the same product at different stores, sales associates are not obligated to provide all of the locations that sell the product, and the price of said product at each location.
Salespeople must let the buyers explain themselves in order to deliver the things they need. It is also important to fully understand the product they are selling in order for the buyers to trust everything you say. If you do not know anything about the product, the buyers will undermine you and brush you off because you are no longer help to that buyer. Product knowledge is one of the main keys to trust-based relationship selling.

According to one source, a key quality for success is empathy. An empathetic person can relate to their clients both by experiencing the same feelings as them and by creating a welcoming and respectful environment for them. When a salesman displays empathy, he is gaining trust and building rapport with his clients by showing that he supports them and is not arbitrary. With regard to the second part of this question, it can be related to the first; arguably one of the most persuasive tools a person can use is rapport. Average businessmen will talk about their business and their accomplishments within the company, but a successful salesman will turn the conversation onto their customer, asking about them and their issues and what they would

Although your old life contains many memories you may wish to forget, you must remember the determination and commitment you always brought to your work. Your desire to succeed first manifested itself at a very young age, but unfortunately your environment did not offer you opportunities to use your good qualities in a positive fashion. However, today, in the field of sales, the same determination that allowed you to succeed in the world of crime can also allow you to excel as a salesperson.
Salesmanship is one of the most looked down professions that most people would prefer not to be associated with. But this hasn't kept away one in every nine Americans (almost 15 million) from actively engaging in sales as a career. Nonetheless, according to a sales and marketing best-selling author, Daniel Pink, everyone in life is a salesman and so is every profession. To further explain his point, Pink even summed up his survey on sales into a book entitled "To Sell Is Human."
A good salesman would have various strategies to respond to given signs, increasing the probability of a successful sale. Failing to respond to the customer appropriately can almost guarantee the salesperson has failed to make a sale. Goman (2012) posted an article on Forbes titled “Knowing When to Back Off” describing an interaction she was observing between a salesman and a potential client in a bar. In a short paragraph she talks about how the salesman appeared to be doing well verbally, but he was putting the client in an uncomfortable position by sitting too close to him. The client began to inch away very slowly, and the salesman did not notice any of this. The client eventually ended up leaving the bar after excusing himself to make a phone call. The salesman failed to understand the client’s basic need of personal space, which cost him the sale. Had the salesman recognized the non-verbal message being sent by the client, the client may have stayed. So it can be seen that developing this social awareness with emotional intelligence and understanding the needs of the customer become very important for the success of a salesman. The salesman would have to know about how to react to the emotion and message being conveyed with body language and control these emotions in order to lead the dialogue in the direction which hopefully leads to a sale.
