Abstract

Market volatility and the dynamics of change, as well as increasing competitiveness, require sales managers to take a new approach and quickly adjust their strategies and tactics to customers and clients. The five critical areas of emotional intelligence – self-awareness, self-regulation, socialization, empathy, and motivation – are the key skills necessary for success in all aspects of life, but in sales, they can be the difference between a good and an excellent salesperson. Higher levels of emotional intelligence allow salespeople to navigate more effectively through the sales process, which also contributes to greater success.
