A caring attitude and being real about it not fake, compassion, great communication skills and the smarts to know that your doing one of the hardest jobs there is. Speed and knowledge of what your doing, knowing your store your position, be confident and strong.

Hi Susan, The main skills you'd need is communication skills. Also a good judge of things get a feel of what people want and need try to empathize. Most importantly being able to take rejection well, remember for every yes you'll come across 10-30 No's first.
