If s/he has become a great sales person in spite of poor English, there must be something special. And English is not the only language to communicate. Definitely would like to hire him.

Yes. Poor English does not mean incompetence.  Language problem can be easily resolved, but his skills may be rarely found.

It's all about skills and target customer requirement. If one has selling skills, English and Soft skills can always be taught whenever required. If you find the guy to be capable enough, you can hire him.

Yes, if S/ He has great skills, speaking will be solve later. Speaking can be solved by behavior fastly. but talent and skills need longer time to reached them than speaking skill.

Communication is the key for any successful sales person... llake of english is a major issue, I won't hire her/him.

A great skilled sales person with poor English skills, that is a great asset. Language can be learnt but the skill of true selling is limited to a few. I would say hire him/her and provide the training and support to enhance their English language skill in order for the company to flourish and the sales manager to feel a sense of acomplishment in their career/life.

I will help to his/her.. because he/she has a skill so I will use that skill for my work
