I deal with many people in my line of business, and being able to indentify the personality of each person allows me to deal with them accordingly which can enhance profit.

The first type of person is the no nonsense type of person. This person is by the book and usually very formal with emails and phone conversations. They will usually greet you formally in emails and have a formal signature in their emails. I keep phone conversations with these type of people very short and stick to the subject.

The second type of person is the kind that only wants to deal with you online. Some of my largest deals have been landed strictly through the computer never speaking or meeting the person. This type of person handles business through emails and IMs. I find these type of people the easiest to deal with. They let you do your work and don’t micro manage.

The third type of person is the kind that is going to call you ever 5 mins to ask you if things are coming along ok. This is the type worst type of person to deal with and I tend to steer clear of this personality. If anything goes wrong you will hear about it. If I have to deal with this type of person, I let them know upfront what to expect from me and exactly what I’m going to do.

The fourth type of person is the buddy type, more like a high school buddy. This type of person will call you and talk to you about everything and is very friendly. They understand the business partnership and will get down to business when needed. This is the best type of relationship to form. Many of my business comes from this type of personality.

So when dealing with people, if you are able to determine their personality type early, this could put you in a position to close a deal or make more money.
