What makes someone a good salesperson

[GoldKiller]

Can it be learnt or are some people just better, talkers? What part of the brain is responsible for people being able to talk and ramble on for so long?

I'm trying to figure that out myself ... thinking of going into sales after college

Probably high EQ and likability
Need halo effect and able to connect with clients with varying personalities and shit

I know a few people in sales in real life and they aren't these outgoing massively chatty people but when they get something they need to sell to someone they're good. I also have friends who have the ' gift of the gab' and are generally good at it.

Sales interviews are literally just about how well you can sell yourself. If someone feels they have no key selling points about themselves, how will they sell something to someone? Maybe that false sense of entitlement is the key to being a good salesman.

I have always been shit at presenting stuff in school or to people in a professional environment but when it comes to chatting with a group or talking to people I'm fine.
