3 Key Traits of Top Performing Salespeople [Video]

Underperforming salespeople are perhaps the greatest cause of frustration and financial loss to sales executives and business owners. The cost of hiring and keeping a bad salesperson can easily range from $50,000 to millions of dollars annually, depending on the industry.
