1 answer

The typical characteristics of innovators include:

  • They are eager to try a new idea.
  • They are willing to take risks.

The other options, "They are poorly educated" and "They are in regular contact with salespeople," do not typically characterize innovators. Innovators are usually more educated and tend to seek out new ideas and solutions actively, which may involve communication with various sources, not limited to salespeople.
