Qualified candidate must demonstrate these traits:

• Competitive
• Naturally curious
• Articulate
• Confident
• Good listener
• Problem solver
• Good storyteller
• Reads people well – highly emotionally intelligent

So what job is this posting for?

I asked my wife (who is a sales executive) to list what traits she looks for in her sales staff.   The above list is what she supplied.  It is very similar to the qualities that I ascribed to being a great Coach in my previous post Coach=Teacher.

This does not surprise me….  as coaches and teachers we are constantly selling.

I am guessing we all have either thought about or talked about the importance of getting our kids to “buy in”.

If our athletes are “buying” then we must be “selling”

Remember – You Can Do More… your brain is lying to you…. Don’t Believe It!
