I don't think that this is true for all products/services. In otherwords, can you sell a plane if you can sell a pen. You need to understand the productservice your are selling, its customers, it markets, & it competitiveness.

Yes that is true. And if one have a capability to sell a pen professionally then he can surely sell a house as well. But to sell a house he may need to dig deep in the same market to sell a house.

With the proper product training a true salesperson can sell anything while the opposite is not true. Selling is an art not a science. and salespeople are a different breed!
