Career in Sales

Ask yourself these questions. Are you:

- A self starter. Since you control your own destiny in sales, self-starting individuals are usually the most successful. Your rewards / compensation are more directly related to your efforts in sales than in any other profession.

- Resiliant. A resilient personality is key to selling success. You will likely experience rejection far more often than not and keeping your cool in these situations is a must.

- A believer. Don't sell out to make a sale. If you believe in the product you're selling, the sales technique you use will be much more authentic.

Talk to people you know who have been successful in sales about what they think are keys to success in sales.
