I struggled to sponsor 4 people in my first year in Network Marketing. When I learned about the four personality types, I sponsored nearly 200 people at my second network marketing company.
This article will give you an overview of the four personality types. Since there are four different personality styles and only one is your dominant personality, if you interact with all of your network marketing prospects in the same way, you will have a 25% success rate even if your sales skills are good.
Success means there is more cooperation in your communication than tension. When you have more cooperation in your conversations with both your business partners and your prospects, you will get more sign-ups, make more sales, and more people will like you.
The four personality types are the green hedgehog, the yellow whale, the red shark, and the blue dolphin.
Green hedgehogs – Green hedgehogs are very analytical, cautious, skeptical and conservative. They don’t take great risks and are often the lonely introverts in society. It may not be the friendliest personality type, but you can definitely build a relationship with them quickly when you learn to understand people.
Yellow whales – Yellow whales are the nicest people and they are the best of friends. They are very reliable, honest, and very good listeners. They love to help others almost to the limit, because bad people often take advantage of them.
Red sharks – Red sharks are your leaders, achievers and main producers. If he seems weak and unsure of himself when it comes to a red shark, he or she will eat it alive. They will hurt your feelings and they don’t care about anything. Red sharks can be the most difficult people to deal with, but you will also get positive results with red sharks when you understand people.
Blue dolphins – These are your social butterflies … your “people people”. They are the life and soul of any party and love to be the center of attention. This is probably the easiest personality type to get along with. You can’t help but like them!
We all have a dominant personality type. This is how we act naturally. You can even see the personality of a child and know what it will be like as an adult.
Understanding people will bring you more positive results in your home business and personal life. Before understanding the four personality types, I never had a relationship that lasted more than 3 months.
This information really changed my life in many ways.
