How Do I Become a Professional Salesperson? | Professional Selling Skills

There was a soldier who, when promoted to the rank of general, discovered that he was the youngest man in history ever to be promoted so far. So, quite naturally, he felt very proud and honoured but, equally, very concerned. He explained to his wife his concern about whether or not he was up to the job and whether he would have the respect not only of his peers but also of his subordinates. His wife gave him some extremely sound advice: ‘Think like a general. Speak like a general. Look like a general. Act like a general... And you will be a general.’

There could be no better advice to anyone who wishes to be recognized as a true sales professional.

Think, speak, look and act like a professional salesperson and you will be one.
