Understanding the crucial traits that influence buyer behavior. 

Buyers look for certain qualities in a salesperson. These qualities, or traits, can significantly influence their decision to buy a product or service. The experts at Centerpoint Connect have compiled a list of key salesperson traits that can lead to success or failure in business transactions.  

Traits such as honesty, respect and friendliness build a strong foundation for trust and partnership. Additionally, taking responsibility for actions and avoiding manipulation are critical for maintaining integrity and client loyalty. Let's explore these essential traits and understand how they impact the buyer-seller relationship. 

1 - Honesty  

Always be truthful with customers and be a credible source for them to rely on. If an expedient lie is told, you will be caught.  Most likely, the purchaser will not use you again so its critical that the data you bring to your customer have accurate information. 

2 - Respect  

Be courteous and on time.  Avoid displaying bad manners, such as being late, interrupting, having a poor attitude and an inability to listen. These negative traits can contribute to losing business opportunities with customers.. 

3 - Friendliness 

Build a level of comfort and trust. Being rude, aloof or condescending does not lead to a successful business partnership. So much business done these days is through relationships that are mutually enjoyable. 

4 - Valuable solutions 

If suggestions or ideas are presented to make the business better or solve a problem, you’ll be a hero (heroine) and a valuable resource. If you only function as an order taker or pressure about deadlines, you are not providing any real value. 

5 - Understand and be interested in the client’s business 

If you show an interest in the client’s business and spend time to be educated by the client, you will be better equipped to offer solutions to the client’s needs. If you illustrate a lack of understanding of the client’s position, job pressures or business, you will not be making their job any easier. 

6 - Be an expert 

Be able to answer your clients questions about products and services. Know and understand the details of popular products or any services they may have a question about. If you provide misleading or incorrect information, you may be speaking to a client that has researched our services before your visit or is familiar with our industry. 

7 - Take responsibility 

Handle issues as they occur and own up to mistakes if any are made. If you shift blame onto others or fail to keep your promises, your integrity with the client suffers. 

8 – Avoid manipulation 

The worst offense a salesperson can make against a client is trying to manipulate them.. The client may not know exactly how they are being manipulated, but they can sense it. They won’t be able to trust you and you haven’t gained their loyalty.
