Myths of Selling to Government

3 More Key Qualities that Make Star Government Selling Performers

Rick Wimberly Season 1 Episode 26

Government Selling Solutions (www.govselling.com) conducted an 18 month study and survey of top performers in the game of winning government contracts.  Our analysts found 7 traits that showed up regularly among top performers. In this episode of Myths of Selling to Government, we present the final 3 of the 7 traits. The 4 others were presented in Episode 25 of Myths of Selling to Government.

Our final 3 traits that top performers seem to have in common included a true consultative nature, empathy and affinity for the sales game. They enjoy the complex process for winning government contracts.
 
We call these 7 traits sales accelerators and predictors of success; they help make up a sales acceleration formula. With the 7 traits understood, government salespeople can ask themselves if they have these traits, and companies can make sure the 7 key qualities can be used when they make hiring and training decisions. In the very least, discussing the 7 traits can stimulate lively and helpful conversation.
