COMPETENCIES

• Influence and Persuasion – Salespeople in new business development are effective in persuading, convincing, influencing, or impressing others in order to get them to support a specific agenda, make a specific type of impression, or take a specific course of action.
• Achievement Motivation and Perseverance – They display a determination to achieve ever-increasing levels of performance. To do this, they set high standards and challenging goals for themselves, others, and the organization, and they constantly focus on achieving and exceeding those goals.
• Composure and Resiliency – These salespeople are able to deal effectively with pressure, maintain focus and intensity, and remain optimistic and persistent, even under adversity. They have the ability and propensity to recover quickly from setbacks, rejections, and conflicts and to maintain self-control in the face of hostility or provocation.
• Negotiating – They identify key bargaining points for all parties and work effectively toward win-win solutions.
• Relationship Building – They develop effective long-term professional interactions with others based on trust: trust that they will always work toward the best interest of those involved and that they are sufficiently competent to provide positive results.
• Initiating Action – They tend to be self-starters and will take a lead role in improving or enhancing a product or service, avoiding problems, or developing entrepreneurial opportunities. They will often demonstrate a sincere positive attitude toward getting things done and will seek out additional responsibilities that may go beyond the scope of their formal job description.
• Information Seeking – Salespeople in new business development are driven by an underlying curiosity and desire to know more about things, people, or issues.

• Deliberative Decision Making – They tend to gather, consider, and evaluate all relevant information to make logical conclusions before being moved to action.
• Driving Results – They motivate individuals to achieve and exceed goals by establishing accountabilities, clarifying performance expectations, agreeing to high standards and measures, monitoring and reviewing performance, and providing timely and relevant feedback.
