disc personality types

Do you always hang out with people who share the same beliefs as you? 

It is tempting to always surround yourself with people who have the same personality type as you on issues, but for the sake of growth, you sometimes need people with who you conflict. 

To interact with people different than you, you need to understand the personality types to meet them where they are at. 

In this episode, we discuss some of the amazing insights we picked up from the book Surrounded by Idiots. The author breaks down 4 personality types that we all should be aware of and work to better understand.

The four personality types are represented by four colors:

- Red

- Yellow

- Green

- Blue

Wondering if you are a red or a blue? Tune in to find out and learn how to interact with other colors for effective communication.

If you google how to get better in sales, most sales gurus will start out talking about motivation. But is motivation really all it takes?

This is the first of a two-part episode. In the first half, we discuss why we believe motivation isn't enough to make you a successful salesperson, but why it is important to have.

Next week, the episode continues with how motivation can start to lead you in the wrong direction.

How important do you think motivation is in sales? Text us at the number above or leave a comment.

Because motivation is so personality-driven, you can also text us to ask about taking a DISC personality assessment. When you know what your motivations are, you know how to use them to your advantage.

We've all heard about the different sales methodologies out there. There's SPIN selling, value selling, Sandler System, SNAP, NEAT, MEDDIC, etc. The list could go on and on.

While all of these bring certain values and knowledge to your selling skills, nothing is more important than having a sales process.

Your sales process is what will make your success repeatable and scalable. 

And if you've taken a DISC personality assessment, you're better able to tailor your process to your personality.  

The more you can make your process work for you, the bigger and easier your success will grow.

Between the four of us, we have a combined experience in sales of more than 60 years.

We've sold all different kinds of services and products, and we've learned a lot through the years.

But the one thing that has taught us more than anything else was the results of the DISC personality assessments that we've all taken at different times. 

We each went into it with varying levels of skepticism, but it changed a lot. The way we communicate, the way we sell, the way we think about other people's actions and thoughts. Even the way we think about ourselves.

In our very first episode, we talk about who we are, how we got to where we are, and, most importantly, what DISC is. 

We're each in four different corners: Clint - D, Al - I, Nannette - S, and John - C. 

Listen to this episode and let us know if you think a DISC assessment would help you. (FYI, it will!) Email us at DISC@salesthrowdown.com for more information!
