depends inside sales or outside sales? if someone is generating the lead and all you have to do is close it, might be easier. if you have to hit the pavement and cold call to generate leads, might be tough. you should read up on sales, as someone else mentioned, there's then the post sales which might be easier, where you're pretty much running demos and helping them setup things. lot's of listening and having strong empathy for the customer to know what problem they are having, being able to communicate clearly so they can immediately understand the values you are presenting, those I'll say are the core skills.
