Common characteristics of uncommon success
Article Abstract:
Successful insurance sales representatives possess characteristics and attitudes that others appear to lack. Top producers have mastered attitude, sales technique, sales activity, proper image and knowledge of both their products and the needs of business clients. Less-successful salespeople often possess some of these strengths but typically do not combine all five. Listening skills and participating in industry organizations are essential to developing the type of expertise that clients most desire.
