Supporter Persuasion
• Be prepared to take time…don’t rush the meeting(s)
• Spend time building trust and getting personal
• Wants: security, to maintain, to help their team and family, to build better relationships, avoid disharmony, to grow and work at their own easy pace
Analytical Persuasion
• Be accurate and prepared• Show a sense of certainty (without
the flash)• Confirm opinions and processes they
have• Take your time giving and hearing
the facts• Remember they value quality and
are linear in nature
Controller Persuasion
• Strong posture when dealing with them
• Focused answers said with conviction• Brief purposeful interactions• Take action immediately if possible• Don’t ask personal questions or share
personal information• Quick pace
Promoter Persuasion
• Have fun and be witty• Ask them for feedback, and ask
questions to keep them on focus.• Express opportunities in with a big
picture, future focus and limit the details
• Recognize and compliment them• Let them win, be first, be newest
Summary
• The ideal style is the style shifter• Awareness and treading lightly can
pay dividends• Make it part of your sales process to
read people, record what you observe and incorporate it into your strategy.
