David Bohl over at Dumb Little Man lists 20 qualities that can help make our lives more successful.

Here are a few:

  • Humility. Don’t lead a life thinking you are better than others or are superior to those around you. Modesty and humbleness will leave a far more ever lasting impact on people than trying to show off.
  • Personal integrity. Always follow your heartfelt values, and never let a situation or anyone steer you away from doing what you know is right. Be someone that people can look up to and respect and not someone who trades his or her moral values for material gains in life.
  • Incorruptibility. Let it be known that you stand firm for what you believe in and that your morals, values and actions are not for sale. Don’t let outside forces corrupt the person you are.

While not specifically created for salespeople, there’s a lot of value in this list if you sell in the 21st century. Go check it out.

    Ah humility…

    David Sandler taught about always seeming to be “less OK” than your prospect. Put away your Armanis and put on the Dockers.
