How you define a top salesperson? For me, I think a salesperson can be considered top salesperson when his sales target, sales volume and sales commission is higher than all other salesperson in the company. This is in terms of monetary sense. Another way of top salesperson is one popularly recognised and respected by customers. To be a top salesperson fiancially and be one respected greatly by customers, meaning reputable salesperson is a great top salesperson.

To achieve in sales, you need to have a few elements, as listed below:

1. Knowledge
When you just started in sales, you need to read about your company and your products. Having product knowledge already then you should have sales knowledge on how to sell and market your products. You will be trained in this area, and you will need to be committed in your own part, to do well in it.

2. Time
Having knowledge alone is not enough. You need to devote time to practice your sales script, sales presentation, practice until you are able to present fluently and you are able to handle some of the common objections given by customers. You can often practice this through role-playing with your colleagues.

3. Practice To Get Perfect
After you have learned to walk, then you learn to run. After knowing everything about sales, from product knowledge to sales techniques and handling objections and things like closing techniques, the next step is to go out to seek customers and practice what you learned and close sales! It is not easy, however, to excel in it, it takes practice, and patience, and willingness to learn from mistakes. Learn from mistakes. Improve on errors you make mistakes at.

4. Code Of Ethics
No matter how you wish to close the deal, always put yourself in the shoe of your customer. We do not want a dishonest salespeople, we want to spent money in a worthwhile manner. Always serve your customers politely, respect them and they will respect you as well. Treat them as friend and seek to have a long lasting relationship with them, this can lead you to a lot more referrals some day.

5. Your attitude
A lot of time, to do a lot of things well depend a lot on your attitude. When you have a positive attitude towards your job, you like your job, you think well of your job, you feel proud of your job, you believe in your product. You believe that your product is beneficial to the customer. You believe that they should have your products. Then it is much easier
