In reality, in all fields, you "either have it or you don't". But companies hire salespeople, don't train them, and expect them to perform. Selling is a skill. Golf is a skill. Tax law is a skill. Managing people is a skill. Any of those skills can be improved by the employee or by the employer.
But one thing is for sure, if you don't have sales skills, you won't be able to sell.
