Salesmanship is limitless. Our very living is selling. We are all salespeople.
If you want to be the best salesperson, first you must be the best person.
I like to think of sales as the ability to gracefully persuade, not manipulate, a person or persons into a win-win situation.
I think skilled salesmen have the ability to work out who you are and pick out aspects of your personality. They almost manipulate you, in a way, to make you buy their product.
Salesmanship, too, is an art; the perfection of its technique requires study and practice.

When you're dealing with machines or anything that you build, it either works or it doesn't, no matter how good of a salesman you are.
I love working with customers. Sales has really influenced everything I do. It has instilled in me the important traits of operating with a sense of urgency and listening to people.
I still remember the five points of salesmanship: attention, interest, conviction, desire and close.
Salesmen always need something to sell.
