Hi Olakunle,
I would say the personal characteristics and required traits would be;
1) Personality - being personable and know how to get along with, and enjoy talking and
   meting a wide variety of people. Comfortable and confident in social settings.
2) Ambitious - set goals for themselves and focus on achieving those ambitions.
3) Confident - thick skin in taking rejection and a 'No'.  Taking it as a challenge,
   not a personal rejection and find a way to convert rejection to opportunity.
4) Passionate - have a deep believe in, and a dedication to what they do and sell.
5) Independent - a successful person are typically self-starters who can take personal
   initiative by identifying the works steps needed to achieve success.
6) Disciplined - possess tremendous follow-through and are not easily swayed from their 
   tasks or goals.  Good at organizing, planning and prioritizing. 
7) Positive - positive attitudes will allow a person to turn negatives into positives
   in any situation and the ability to learn from defeat, to better improve chances of
   success.
8) Persuasive - the ability to tailor your approach to meet the different needs of your 
   prospective members or buyers, to better influence their decisions. 
9) Adaptable - changes is sometime necessary.  Ability to adapt and do something 
   differently if something doesn't work.
We are in the era of everything digitized, but some business processes still require the human touch and the people skills.
Good luck to you.
