Curiosity, and also drive (but not necessarily hunger). Be motivated and make sure you show up, both figuratively and literally.
Keep it consistent ๐ฆ
All of them, but I weighted curiosity highest.
I'd also rate listening skills way up there.

Combination. Consistency being most important
It's a combination of all of these, but I think the hunger and curiosity are the top 2 for me that stand out the most.
According to me, Consistency as itโs result oriented and all wants result
Discipline is the God molecule to all of these
Hunger without discipline is gluttony at best.
Consistency with no direction will betray.
Curiosity and ego are like โฏ๏ธ to open the way for curiosity, one must discipline a biased ego.
Rather than work towards an end (becoming a successful AE) make the destination the journey and stay disciplined to iterating the best version of yourself in that moment

All skills are important, but curiosity to network and learn new skills are key
Consistent in all of the above.
Be consistently hungry, accountable, and full of questions.
Consistency in terms of consistently following up on your to-dos and consistently trying to learn and become better each day.
Curiosity. Tougher to teach this aspect.
Curiosity and hunger which drives them to go above their job role
Curiosity is definitely number #1. To close mid market enterprise deals you have to be curious, consultative, need to master an expert discovery and you can only do that if you are curious. Find the issue, pain, etc. The best AEs are more curious then consistent. But I would place consistency at a close 2nd.
Consistency is key. Do the same key activities day in and day out no matter what and you'll be successful
An AE is a mix of consistency, curiosity and accountability. Hunger is common for both SDR and AE. But an AE that doesn't do a curious discovery, doesn't consistently engage customers / prospects and does not hold accountability for where this deal is going - I'd say might not make it to the top 10% cream layer of AEs. hah!
what will help them get promoted? consistency.
What will help an SDR to be a good AE? - shadowing AEs

I think itโs important to grow and keep striving for more
Driving the sales and belief. Also a little bit storytelling
