Hello all,

 

As I see it, the most important quality is to remember that you are dealing with PEOPLE often disguised as "Customer" "Client" etcetera .Time we focused on the "Subject matter" from the text becomes so important that we tend to loose its worth.

 

I believe if you have faith  in the product / service and share the values of the Brand passionately ,you can work towards the discipline of becoming a good Sales & or Marketing Manager.

 

Just like in the end numbers matter? You need to back it up with relevant education & experience. And you good to go!

Thank You!
