Last week, we mentioned that over the next four weeks we would give you an insight into how to observe and spot signs for which of the four personality types our clients are. We will learn what words would be more favourable to use to build rapport and trust with each type. (Please remember that we do have a blend of personalities. This is just their primary personality.)
This week let’s concentrate on the dominant, direct personality clients.
You’ll be pleased to know this only makes up 10% of the population!
These people like to win and are...

Worth over $75 Billion and considered to be one of the world's most successful investors, Warren Buffet was asked what his advice is for being successful.
His answer was to say that seasonal cards like Christmas, Easter and Valentines Day, cards should not just be for those times, but should be for the whole year.
You see, Buffet writes a letter or a handwritten note most days which typically includes a line of gratitude, or a few words of praise.
Buffet says that whether its business or pleasure, ultimately everything is personal.

Maybe we've seen too many movies of sleazy salesmen from the 1970s.
Here is how selling should work.
Step #1. Listen to our prospects to see if they have a problem that we could fix.
(If we listen, they will like us.)
Step #2. Ask our prospects if they want to fix their problems. (Yes, some people want to keep their problems. It makes them happy.)
Step #3. Find out when our prospects want to fix their problems; now, or sometime in the future. (Timing is everything. They may have bigger issues at the moment. We will respect that.)
Step #4. If they...

Which one are we?
Two young men graduate from school.
The first young man goes to work in his career, and then finally retires when he is old.
The other young man starts his career, but every day learns one new thing. In a few years, his knowledge, skill level, and abilities command a larger salary. He earns more money and has the option to retire earlier.

Prospects are selfish. It is a human trait.
They care about themselves.
They don’t care about us.
They care even less about we want to show them.
So when we talk to prospects, what should we talk about? Here are our choices.
#1. Talk about us and the stuff we offer, while the prospect is not listening or caring.
#2. Talk about the prospect and the prospects’ problems.
Well ...
What would we choose?
Most amateurs will go with choice #1. They talk about how great they are, how they branded themselves, show company videos, talk...

Imagine our prospect gets angry and threatens us.
Q. What should we do?
A. We should stop imagining!
How many times do we not approach a great prospect because of our imagination? And guess what? We are in charge of our imagination. We create it.
Sometimes it is not the outside influences that hold us back. Sometimes it is us.
Good news. We can change. This is in our power.
Practice these 3 words daily. "I’m just curious."
Can questions offend or scare prospects? Yes. Worse yet, we fear asking questions from strangers.
