Most people say they are "NOT A SALESPERSON". Leadership , however, is all about influence. No one likes to be "Sold" on something, but you are excited about that new "Thing" you just bought. So what's the difference. Huge!
I believe that Sales & Leadership are similar. Both are about influence and relationship. This past year, I have realized how important relationships are, and my goal is to expand my relationships and strengthen my relationships. So I think it would be helpful if you wanted to answer a few questions.
No looking over this extensive list looks a bit intimidating, but don't you think it would be helpful to know this about the person?

Some of the keys to differentiating personalities:
1.Are they open or self-contained when they talk to you?
2.Are they direct or indirect in their actions?
3.What specific words they often use are a tip-off to each personality?
4.How do they all treat money? Generous? Stingy? Wasteful? A saver?
5.How they dress.
6.The appearance of their desk.
7.The layout of their office.
8.The colors they choose.
9.Do they talk fast or slow?
10.Do they carefully enunciate their words?
11.Is this a fast driver?
12.Does this person like the most expensive cars?
13.Would they rather buy stuff for other people than for themselves?
14.Do they spend a lot of time comparison-shopping for price?
15.And many more criteria.
You'll also master these life-changing goals & strategies:
1.How to get instant credibility with anyone you have just met! (This one is a real doozy!)
2.How to lower the tension level & raise the co-operation level.
3.The most certain way to get people to bond with you.
4.The value of becoming a chameleon, so you can relate well to everyone.
5.How to create a lifelong income partner in 15 minutes.
6.How to identify ANY personality type within 1-2 minutes of conversation.
Remember When I Said, "You Are NOT
a Salesperson"? Well, Neither Am I!
I just love helping people!
