What skills are most important for a job like yours?
I would say three main things: people, skills, communication, and organization.
In terms of people skills, it's the ability to build rapport, understand the person or prospect across from you, and be persuasive in your communication.
Then, in terms of communication, you need the ability to communicate well internally, as well as when you're customer-facing.
Lastly, with organization, you have a lot of autonomy in sales roles. It's important to manage your time and understand that you're building your own book of business, so organization is key.
