Question

What qualities does one need to be a good marketing professional?

Answer 1

Read about ordinary people who have became successful entrepreneurs. They share advice on avoiding their mistakes and the techniques they used to build successful and growing companies. http://www.businessempiremag.com may provide you some useful information

Answer 2

ignorance of the product / service being marketed is a prerequisite.  

Answer 3

Professional are not born they become by experience.

First never expect to be professional at 1st drive.

Learn things by seniour and listen more talk less at first.

Be proactive and talkkitive. Analize things and get ready with the answer for unexpected questions from customers.

Be confident and give confidence to them. You words should work like an arrow. Hitting the stright to the target in no time. Use and speck words that the customer should trust you and no further question to ask.

Think.....

Sales is not a job its an ART. Its not asking or forcing the customer to buy somthing, its a service that you are providing.

If you work following above two lines that will make you above the professional.

Answer 4

I don't think there's a such thing as a "good" professional. Aren't all professionals good because they are pro?

Anyways. Some qualities are confidence, risk-taking, and the rest depends on what you're doing. I suggest reading Wining by Jack Welch (Former CEO of GE).
