Their are many sales skills,the most important are:

Aggressive - To sustain in a competitive market one should be aggressive in sales.

Hunger for Incentives - Without this one can be an average sales person.

Politeness - one should be polite with the customers,colleagues and with everyone to sustain in a business.

Never Lie - If sales base based on a lie then the surely is possible to loose the deal....Better convince the customer by telling the truth instead of confusing the customer by telling the Lie..
