Top Salesman are Born or created?

There are many ways to answer this question, some people said that top salesman are born because it required talent to create interpersonal skill, able to negotiate with other person and he/she have to be extrovert person since sales people are dealing with other person.
But another opinion said top salesman are created because all the skill needed for salesman to be success can be learn, if a person willing to learn than he could be successful in becoming a top salesman.

Why don’t we try to take a look what a salesman need to be in top of the position.

1.Be an Extrovert person
Salesman has to come, deal and convince other person to purchase the

product,other important thing is in sales we need to expand our network to
enrich our knowledge and experience regarding the world of the sales of our
product. So if someone avoid in meeting or talking with other people outside his
circle then he cannot sell any product.

2. Mastering the product knowledge
Not only the feature of the product but also the benefit and
Advantages. Because if you come to new customer then talking
only about the feature of your product then the costumer will say
Big NO to you, the tips in succeeding your sale on new costumer
is how we can connect the costumer needs and our product and
that can be done by explaining the benefit and advantages

3. Negotiation Skill
In word transaction, negotiation can’t be avoided, to be a top salesman you

have to be expert on this, Key in succeeding the negotiation is how we could
give better value on our preposition and find a win – win solution.

These three points are basic in salesman skill, the better you at this point the greater salesman you will be.
Back to question above about top salesman are born or created, we know that all the skill above can be learned. Maybe it is easier for someone who already has the talent but for someone who hasn’t perhaps it takes more time but still he can be a top salesman. The best bet is a person who has talent I salesmanship and willing to learn in improving the knowledge.
