  7. When they help and support others to succeed
  8. When they are stuck with the customer development plan
  9. When they are behind schedule meeting the monthly sales target

  12. When they show low confidence in dealing with difficult customers
  13. When they are fear of managing complex sales task
  14. When they are giving up or lost of fighting spirit / hope
  15. When they hesitate to make decisions
  16. When they are blaming others, things and situations for their failure
