Diplomacy : Sales Skills for the Workplace

Sales Skills for the Workplace
There are some retail sales skills that aren’t usually listed on a resume, but are still important for sales employees. Ensure you have these five skills to achieve success in sales.

 

Diplomacy
Unfortunately, sales associates have a bad reputation due to marketing tactics like spam emails and robocalls. As a result, you sometimes have to deal with customers who are angry before you’ve even said anything.
