Navigate: Selling The Way People Like To Buy
Statistically, if you’re like most salespeople you sell very well to people who are of the same behavioral profile as you. But that also means that you are potentially missing out on as much as 75% of the rest of the population. Because selling is not about treating people the way you want to be treated; it’s about treating people the way they want to be treated. Yet the vast majority of salespeople have never had any formal education or professional psychology training about how to identify, understand, and relate to people who are of opposing behavioral types of themselves. As a result, each day millions of dollars are lost in potential sales that could be easily captured with a few simple changes to the sales process.

- What are the 4 distinct psychological buying and selling behavioral types
- How to identify someone’s buying behavioral style within seconds of meeting them
