> I'm a people person. I have people skills.

I don't agree.

In my experience, there are people with a talent for talking, and have a natural attraction. People just want to talk to them. But that's not most people in sales (even if they are often top).

The key skills to be successful in sales are similar. Dedication, problems solving, and an interest in what you're doing. Many here could pick it up.
