Q) What additional skills are required?
A) In addition to general business skills,
it's true that market trading often best suits people who are
- Pleasant and affable individuals who are good with people
- Good with figures, as there will be a need to work out prices
quickly
- Physically strong as the job requires early morning starts and
some heavy lifting in setting up and stocking the stall.
It is also important to have the aptitude to operate a small
business and some awareness of basic business skills, especially
marketing and customer care.
