Are the best salesmen equally good in selling themselves?

Great salesmen selling themselves the best

If a salesman is good in sales, is he equally good in selling himself in order to get a new job in a different company or industry?

Isn’t selling yourself the most difficult type of sales?
Is selling yourself and selling a product or a solution comparable?

If a company is declining in sales or lacking innovation, will it be the best salesmen who will be the first to find a new job appointment?

If you have to select a new salesman, will it be the one that sells the best himself?

If the best salesmen good in selling themselves, aren’t they doing this all of the time even during their normal sales pitches as they sell both themselves and the products or solutions?

What do you think?

Good in selling not in selling themselves

Or is it the contrarian?
Great Salesmen are good in getting people to by products and solutions, but do an average job in selling themselves as it is of a different matter and of a different kind.

If the best salesmen were so good in selling themselves, then wouldn’t they all end up as VP Sales or even CEO?
Apparently not:
- Only a minority has become VP Sales or CEO, as the larger population seems to stay in sales.
- If they were so good in selling themselves, all salesmen would have the best partners (married or living together).

Or maybe they just like selling products and solutions.
Thus maybe not all the best salesmen are so good in selling themselves.

Are you as a great salesman, equally great in selling yourself or just average?
