QUOTES:

03:48 “First is Dominance. The High D.  I’ll open with a story. I remember before I learned this, I was working on job site and there was a guy there that I felt was so rude to everybody. He was inconsiderate and interruptive and just rude and domineering. So, dominance through and through. After I studied DISC, I learned, oh my goodness, he’s just a high D. He doesn’t mean to be insensitive. He doesn’t mean to be rude.”

06:36 “High I’s. They want everybody to be happy and everybody be okay. They avoid conflict. There’s a book, I think it’s Strengths Finder 2.0, that calls it WOO. Winning Others Over. And that’s huge for high I’s, I believe, across the board.”

07:56 “S is the steady, loyal, even-tempered, accommodating, patient, humble, tactful person. They’re the golden retriever if we’re talking about the animal for each personality. They’re very loyal.”

09:41 “C’s are the conscientious, analytical, reserved, precise, private, and systematic.”

19:25 “But for sales, you had this system of Peg, Pace, and Mirror. You taught me this. So Pegging is being able to say okay, now you know the personality profiles, all four of them–can you peg that potential customer, at the estimate, can you peg their personality? Peg their personality and then pace. Can you then keep up to their pace? And then, of course, mirroring that back to them, speaking their language in a sense.”

32:30 “This is all about increasing your ability to communicate with your team, which then builds your team. The better communicator you are, the more money you make.”

43:19 “Whether you work with your spouse, if you don’t, just personally, I encourage you to consider it. If you feel like, you know April said hey, I would never work him. Well, recently she’s learned a few tools, a few strategies, and we’re going to go over those. If you do work with your spouse, like many of our clients do, and they build successful businesses.”
