There are no shortcuts in business. To be successful you need to know some things, and here are the six most important ones, in my opinion.
Know how to sell
The implementation of this clause implies that you are able to express something that improves a product or service. Selling never deals with conviction, only with help.
Put yourself in the client's place
If you know how to succeed from the perspective of your counterparty, you can be successful. In order to accomplish this, the ability to quickly understand the needs and requirements of a person is necessary. Every person and industry is different. The ability to understand various industries, businesses, roles, and what made them working and not working, comes with experience.

Never ending, learning how to understand the needs of companies and people working in these companies will help to achieve success.
Know as much as possible about technology.
The great news about technology is that they change every day. If you are one of those few people who know a new technology, you are in a unique position to put yourself in the shoes of a client and determine the usefulness of the technology. New technologies make changes, and where there are changes, there are opportunities. Knowing more technology will allow you to manage more opportunities.
“Invent bicycles” (always ask yourself how to solve a problem if there was no solution yet)
99.99% of what we do in business is done on knurled patterns. No one re-imagines how everything should be done. Although successful businessmen in any situation use their knowledge of a business or situation, regardless of context, to reinvent a solution to a problem.
Find the path of least resistance
Many people come up with, amazing in their opinion, ways of doing things. Unfortunately, they don’t wonder if they make someone’s life better and easier. A simple test of any such process or situation is to answer the question: “Is this the shortest improvement path for the user?” Yes - great, no - we are looking for a solution further.
To be nice
People hate dealing with scoundrels. It is always better to be a good guy than a "goat" (in the original
jerk ).
