Be willing to work hard and to go the extra mile. Be prepared. Do your homework. Knowledge of your product or service builds confidence which in turn, inspires others. Avoid unnecessary grumbling and complaining. Keep your work ethic on a professional plane. Don't forget the "little" guy.

You will probably get lots of different answers, but my opinion on what makes a good sales person is this:\n\n1) product knowledge - yours and your competitors! You have to know how to position your product and respond to any objections to be able to effectively offer your product as a solution to meet the buyers need.\n\n2) develop a relationship built upon trust, honesty, integrity - your competitor may do the "hard sell" but developing an honest relationship will lead to word of mouth referrals and customers for life! Get to know the individual, their office staff (gate keepers), their business, their competition, their market space so that you can position your product to completely meet their needs.\n\n3) once you have developed a relationship and you know your product is the right solution, ask for the business. Customers expect it and if you have responded to any objections, developed an honest relationship, then you should be in a nice position to close the deal.\n\n4) for customer that provide on-going sales - thank them for the business. Let me know how important they are and that you value them as a customer. Ask them to recommend your product to colleagues.\n\nGood luck!

1) Convience (Don't leave home or work)\n2) Better photos and descriptions of items.\n     You can see all of the available items \n3) Have your purchase delivered to your home or work\n4) I like to buy things on line because I can research the products that are out there easier, and there is no pressure to buy now!  I find that it is best to deal with companies that have a physical site because they are easier to work with if there is a problem.

I work in purchasing. You'll probably need to keep a log of all vendors. Make sure they're trust-worthy. Keep records of all Purchase requests and orders as well as all bids from vendors. Stick to a budget and classify all items purchased in order to keep an inventory and not buy things twice. \nHave an approval system for larger purchases, among others. Just make sure that if you ever want to look back at something, it'll  be easy to look over details.
