If you are looking to add to your sales team, I’d strongly advise not to discount people who have been self-employed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n4. Takes ownership – just like an athlete – your performance is all down to you!<\/span>
\n5. Commercial acumen – an understanding of the inner workings of a business translates well to any B2B sales role.<\/span><\/p>\n
