In sales literature the role of personality traits in the prediction of salespeople's performance is a hot topic. This study, based upon an administered personality test, suggests that salespeople's personality traits — specifically, the ability to elicit information from others, to self-monitor during conversations, and to adapt during conversations — are good predictors of performance.
