Skills needed (in no particular order, and by no means exhaustive):

-Knowing people
-Ability to connect on a meaningful level with anyone and everyone / cultivate relationships
-Energy/tirelessness
-Ability to seamlessly weave a "sales pitch" into conversation
-Ability to close

completely agree in terms of personality
