People saying "X makes the best salespeople" are annoying and stupid.

Hey everyone, former athletes make for the best salespeople!


Hey everyone, former fraternity guys make for the best salespeople!


Hey everyone, former engineers make for the best salespeople!


Hey everyone, people from Utah and Mormons make for the best salespeople!


No moron, people who empathize, listen, know when to shut up, and know how to deliver make for the best salespeople.

Actually, it was an interesting number - that's all. Very specific and obviously linked to some change.

If there was a silver bullet to figuring out who the best sales people, I think we’d know it by now.

“Hey everyone,people who think what makes for the best salespeople ain't truly salespeople"

As no background should make a better sales person if there was no will or skill in practicing Sales!!!

People who balance the "feely/positive-vibes" with "data-analytics/truth-telling" make the best salespeople. Change my mind.

Introverts who learn how to be outgoing are the best salespeople given your last sentence. They hit just about everything you mentioned at the end.

I personally know incredibly successful sales professionals of every type of personality and background. Sales is a skill anyone can learn and implement for success. Good post!

The best sales person I have met is the girl at Dutch Bro's who takes my order. I have met her 2 times and she remembered my name, that I have 3 kids but only 2 were with me the first time she met me. She remembered my order. And she is just great at talking to people.

I told my wife after the first time I met this girl "I wan't to quit my job and convince this girl to come sling timeshares with me. I will make her rich"

So... Hey everyone, baristas make the best salespeople!

So, most people I know did not plan on becoming a sales person initially, it just happened. So, curious to know how my fellow warriors here ended up in sales anyway ? The more interesting stories the better..!!
