Does having a polarizing personality/character affect success in a sales job?

[Tradeperson]

I'm considering transitioning out of my current role into a tech sales role or some other kind of sales role. Thanks to IceCreamKid for detailing the benefits and pitfalls of a career in tech sales.

I believe that I have a polarizing personality/voice/appearance/social behaviors. And I believe that this may be a disadvantage in a sales job that requires talking or face-to-face interaction with customers.
