  • You wouldn't be a perfect salesperson without customer service skills.
  • A perfect salesperson shall have to listen more than talking and listening may lead to accommodate what exactly a client is looking for.
  • When it comes to a salesperson more you commit and more you deliver. Therefore ensure not wasting time on activity which wouldn't produce anything for salesperson’s perspective. 
  • Sales person to be obsessed with clients and always stick on their business growth. So run the own race :)

I think Sales Person should have a more skills in Customer Services due to the Services he or she is concerning to be delivered for the purporse of Keeping the Customers on your Good Services and Making the Customers Returning in your Best Services.

But According to Customer Service Representative  Who should have a Sales Skills that is not fail because Sales Skills is a Skills that may be Trained or educated by Proffessional in Accounting or Business Management orient on Sales.

Customer servicing is an integral part of a Sales job. On one hand,  customer service will keep you on top of the customer's mind and on the other side it will give you opportunities to make multiple connects with the customer. One can use each of the next connect opportunities for cross-selling and upselling. 

 

Customer servicing will also help to build trust. So it is very much necessary for a salesperson to have customer servicing skills and a customer service representative should have sales skills.

Every Salesperson should have customer service skills. Every encounter to someone is a potential sale. A salespersons main goal is to sell so he should take care of customers in every possible way. On the otherhand, A customer service representative doesnt always mean to sell something. He might be someone who is handling complains, answeres queries and is informing customers. But, possessing both skills is an advantage.
