I read this some where: " The optimistic, happy-go-lucky Sagittarian is a perfect candidate for the sales team and more likely to secure that order than most". I am happy as I am one. How about you guys there?

Hi I am a new bee to this forum and I found this rather absurd.  No there is little link I feel between sun signs and being a good sales person.  Sales is a job just as any other which requires study and experience.  The more experience you have the better you get and its rather child like to assume that sun signs impacts one's selling skills. Silly reasoning...

Hey, i am back in town! Buddies in between your arguements, would like to add that when a team is built, I still feel the sunsigns matter.

I have seen in my personal experiences that I do not gel well with Gemini and Scorpio. So think when I build my sales team if there is an never ending agruement, with no conclusion, the adverse effect is on the business.  Many cases Virgos and Ariens mismatch.

Sumita,

How many people do you know?? 1000/2000... 20,000???? IS this sufficient for you to Judge if the remaining maybe 20,00,000,000,000,000 or more people of the sun signs I have named are the same as your 20,000???

Look, just for the sake of putting someone down you rate is fine. But if you supply solid proof, I would appreciate your point and acknowledge it in the open forum. But something as filmsy as this... Well, not worth arguing about anyway!!

Whats your sun sign BTW?? Is it scorpio?? :))

Can every person not dream to be a Laxmi Mittal?? Come on, its all about a talk while reaching a destination with your sales colleague and you end up asking the most asked question, "Whats your sign?" Its the most natural question I must say.

Also, it does add an edge if you know the traits of a sign and then look at the tell tale signs and voila, you know the person would behave like that at least 60 to 70% of the times!! Well its not a bad practice at all. :))

Thanks for the suggestion buddy. As you know i just joined so doing my research on the site... would need some time to get hands on

I totally agree, Sun signs do influence the personality and hence the job the person is in. Eg Scorpios make good entrepreneurs (bill gates, sunil mittal) ;Sagis also make good planners, development head, marketing (Vijay Mallya, KV Kamath) ... and we need followers

For me a Cancerian, Virgoan, Aerian and a Saggi would make great salesman. Any sunsign that has a earth and water element in it can make good listeners and good talkers! Good debate Pratap. Just a suggestion, change the yes to sun signs are indicators and No to Anyone can be a salesman sunsigns do not matter!! :))

No reason to believe that sun signs influence salesmanship. 

Would we now expect recruiters to begin sifting resumes based on sunsigns??? :) I can't imagine an HR Manager givin a brief to a recruiter to interview or shorlist for interviewing people for sales, finance, HR, production etc positions bases on their birth dates. 

Would this become an essential part of profile requirements? :))

Hi Sumita,

This is not personal. Anyway, I have gotten into way too many arguments in the last 24 hrs and do not want to get into one with you at all. If my comment has rubbed you the wrong way please excuse me for it, though it was not meant to be.

Thank you! :))

Hi,
Please dont go personal on this.Why should I just support or oppose a debate for putting down somebody or appreciating somebody.But I hope I have the right to have my own opinion .Anyway  I still stick on to what I say...the people I know do not exhibit the same traits in spite of having the same sun signs.Its true that I only know maybe some 2000 or 20,000 people in comparision to your 20000000000000000..... ,but still I dont agree with you:)

Definitely if you dream then only you achieve,but its your effort and will power that helps not your sun sign!

I know of people with same sun signs and having completely different traits...

Sun sign forecasts can define what's happening for you on a conscious level and to your self-image, but that's not all what you are ... not by a long shot.

A  goodsalesman needs to have a balanced combination of empathy and ego drive to succeed and not star signs.

Can every person born in June become a Lakshmi Mittal?
