This thread doesn't seem to attract people that much...I would guess ESTP in general, with ENFJ as a close runner-up. The combination of Se and Fe frequently makes ESTPs very proficient at reading people and thus figuring out the best way to sell something to that person, a gift that ENFJs also share.
An ENTJ I guess.Imagine you have your own business. You have a product that requires a person-to-person sales approach (e.g. selling home solutions, cars and etc).
You now need sales people to go in and talk to people one to one.
Which type would you choose as your salesman?
Is there any particular MBTI type which doen't like to lie?I was a horrible salesman, basically because I can't stand lying. I felt like was not only cheating them, but cheating myself. But yeah, when I did act it was like selling money for half the price.
I believe it's because I don't lie that I am so successful in my business. I wouldn't sell anything if I didn't feel that I was really giving something amazing and beneficial to someone. I could only sell what I honestly believe in.I was a horrible salesman, basically because I can't stand lying. I felt like was not only cheating them, but cheating myself.

I worked with timeshare in Greece for a long period of time and it was a great experience. I got to work with some of the most awesome people on this planet, my brother included, but my values kept getting crossed and the pay was just garbage. The main factor is that I cannot be pushy. Not saying that every salesperson is pushy, but, there is a line you've gotta cross in order to connect with the people you talk 'to'. Besides, I don't like rejection and I need a steady income.I own my own business but I owe everything I learned from my daddy who is an ESTP. He can sell anything to anyone. We always said that growing up as kids. Good thing he has integrity too. :happy:

I wouldn't know. But I do like honesty, and I think bold / brutal honesty is better than no honesty at all. I'm the type of person who considers withholding information a form of manipulation in order to serve interest. I don't like it.Is there any particular MBTI type which doen't like to lie?
As an ENTJ, I know we are are very blunt.... probably the most blunt of all type..... we just blurt out the truth straight to the point. Most of the time we ignore other people's feeling. This is very bad at certain situations....
Fe = Connecting with PeopleOkay I can't be a real ENFJ (faulty product here) because you all seem to think ENFJs are the best salespeople. lol. I'm too honest for sales.
I would say that ENTJ would be a good Marketing Executive....making big plans to move a product sales.. But a good salesman? I don't know...I would also say ESTP and ENTJ under the right conditions. I think an ENTJ has to first be sold on whatever he's selling. Well, that's my case. Instead of reading body language like an ESTP, I'll provide such a compelling argument that it would seem stupid to walk away from my offer.
This is true. However, often times they have too much understanding of their social role and may not want to come off as "rude", even if it means closing the deal. This is where I think too much Fe can get in the way of sales.ENFJ and ESFJ are quite persuasive and personable
