DISC Profile

In our conversation we talked about buyer temperament. One way to discover this is to use the  DISC profile personality model:
Dominant – big gesture direct goal setters
Inspiring – people oriented
Supportive – flexible, low drama, easy going
Cautious  – number and process driven
People have a preponderance towards one personality type. However people are a blend of these temperaments.

Buying questions during a sale?

Ask these questions dependent on the personality type:

D – WHAT?
I – WHO?
S – HOW?
C – WHY?

How to Assess Personality

One way in understanding how to read a buyers personality is to:

  • Look at dress
  • Look at their office decor
  • Evaluate their email style
