This training activity focuses on the ‘people’ side of working with customers and colleagues. Participants consider the traits and behaviours of the four major personality styles. They look at how to recognise them and how to respond to customers who exhibit those styles. By ‘getting on their wavelength ‘ sales and customer service people who build rapport more quickly and, in so doing, they will work more effectively.
You begin the training activity by reviewing the four major personality styles. The participants then work in groups to explore and define the styles in more detail. They present their ideas in a feedback session and go on to consider how they should behave in order to get on the other persons wavelength. You then introduce a simple, self-coaching technique, which enables the participants to measure their own behaviour and find ways of working more effectively with the different styles.
