Willy has neither the talent or nor personality to be a salesman. He is idealistic, stubborn, and he has a false sense of his importance in the world. The most important part of being a salesman isn't selling the product, but selling yourself, and how can anyone expect to sell a product or himself if they think that there're foolish and incompetent.

Stubbornness also greatly hinders his success in life. Charley practically sets a potential job into Willy's lap, but he refuses it. Willy is too proud to let go of his old job and take a new one. Even though he was just fired, he still believes that he is at the top of his profession, and that his success is just around the corner. He knows he needs a job, but won't accept Charley's offer, because he hates him for being successful when he is barely scrapping by. As Willy tries to live out his version of the American dream, he venerates those who have been successful at doing so, like Ben and Charley. Furthermore, he punishes those who do not work towards that ideal or accomplish it, such as Biff, and more importantly himself.
