Event

Join us for a 60-minute exploration of how we can use “colours” to improve your sales and build relationships with your customers!

We will show you how to quickly identify personality “colours” and how you can use this information to build trust, improve relationships and gain more sales. 

Everyone has a “colour”, you might have heard of DISC, Myers Briggs or Insights before, but do you really know how to use this information to your advantage?

Identifying traits in people allows you to adapt your communication style which in turn will help with all of the above. 

If you’ve ever come across a salesman who goes into far too much detail when you only need the highlights or someone who won’t give you all of the ins and outs, then you know they haven’t participated in this session. 

Takeaway

• Identifying your personality type
• How to identify someone else’s personality “colour”
• How you can use colours to build relationships and close more sales
• Opportunity to win a free online personality profile!

So, if you want to improve sales and build relationships through colours, then tune into this 60-minute experience.

Motivational Mapping is a powerful, dynamic and exciting self-perception inventory that provides individuals, managers and organisations with intelligent and practical information on what motivates people, as well as how motivated they are. One of the most powerful uses of Motivational Mapping is to help managers gain a deep and practical understanding of their teams, which is especially important as people return to work and, managers are under even more pressure to integrate their teams.

There is an increasing body of evidence that the single, most important aspect of being a leader relates to managing emotions effectively. This management goes way beyond simply ‘understanding’ emotional intelligence; it is, in fact, practice and one that is intimately connected with personal development and growth, and with energy. The more we can understand the complex emotions and thoughts that drive our individuals and teams, the more effective and positive our management practice will become.

Content / Takeaway

We will look at Motivational Maps and learn what each motivator means. We will explore the impact that people’s motivations (the reason for acting in a certain way) have on them and their teams; we will look at potential clashes and flashpoints. You will also learn why people do the things they do. Key to the whole session, learn how you can apply the knowledge gained in a practical way to help build your team through these challenging times.
