Any type of salesperson to do well needs to 1. Dress appropriately 2. Be well spoken, but not to the point where you sound condescending to a customer. 3. Be honest and make lots of eye contact. 4. Know your product and the competition's product
I would add to that work your ass off.

It could be a fun job where you make a pretty good living. You just have to be willing to go one step further then the other guy. You can see it when you go into these places. You can tell right away who is the top salesman and the guy collecting a paycheck just by looking at them.

You have to be confident, professional and love your job.
