The 8 Types of Salespeople

There are eight types of salespeople. And only three are effective.

Posted by Harvard Business Review on Saturday, March 12, 2016

According to the Harvard Business Review, there are 8 different types of salespeople, and only 3 of them (37%) are consistently effective at selling. The other 5 types (63%) actually drive down performance due to poor skills, habits and personality traits.

The good news for principals and managers is that the 8 different types represent behavioural tendencies, and can therefore be improved with the right training and mentoring if you understand the 8 types.

So, where do your sales people fit into 1 of these 8 types?

Who in your office is best positioned to mentor other sale people to become better?

And, what weaknesses are holding some of your team back?

Free Real Estate Client Attraction Blueprint

If you’re spending $500+/month on real estate advertising (this can include your portal listings, letterbox drops, etc.) and you’d like to dramatically increase your leads, sales & ROI, then you’ll want to take advantage of one of my FREE 30-minute strategy sessions to help you improve the results from your marketing.

Whether you’re an agent or principal, I’ll work with you to design a custom Client Attraction blueprint, help you identify the perfect target market for prospective buyers, and show you how to maximise your marketing results.

My promise to you is that by the time we get done with this fast-paced session, you will walk away with 3 actionable strategies for you to get more listings and more buyers… without the need to spend a fortune on wasteful advertising.

There are two ways to success in the real estate market. Outspend the competition or be smarter than the competition. In this call, I will share with you how to be smarter.

Plus, if you’re not thoroughly convinced the custom marketing blueprint I’ll provide will significantly improve your current advertising results – even if you NEVER choose to work with me to implement it – just let me know before we finish our call and I’ll happily donate $30 to the charity of your choice! (Of course, you’ll get a copy of the receipt)

By the way, there’s no cost to you for this strategy call.

Obviously I provide online Marketing services for real estate businesses, and if you see some value in the free help I give you, there’s a good possibility you might want to work with me to improve your lead generation results. And if you choose not to, that’s equally fine.

But… before you go any further, you need to know that I can’t help everybody.

I can only be of benefit to agents or agencies that currently advertise or market online or offline. You need to already be spending at least $500+ a month in advertising costs and – ideally – have your own operational website that can be updated with new content as needed.

If you don’t do much or any advertising, I won’t be able to help you.

So, if you meet my criteria AND would like to take advantage of a free 30 minute Strategy Call, simply click the link below. You’ll see a form with a few questions about your current marketing program and what you are looking to accomplish, as well as some contact details. Choose a day and time from my calendar to speak with me, and we’ll get together on a skype call to go over your situation and goals.

Lastly, when my schedule fills up, that’s it! So, if you meet the criteria AND are serious about wanting to take what you’ve learned from my blog post and develop a blueprint to increase the effectiveness of your advertising and marketing, then get started by clicking the link below.
