Step Two: Facilitated Influence Program
Overview of the Adaptive Sales Communication Training Program
We all naturally connect, build rapport and close deals with those who are most similar to their own personality type. TypeCoach tools and training empower sales professionals to reach a much broader range of prospects and clients as they master the adaptive sales communication techniques.
It’s emotional intelligence at your fingertips.
All participants will receive the TypeCoach Sales Manager Guide booklet and a two-page reference document to support their learning.

Examples of Dynamics Addressed in the Adaptive Sales Program:
Influencing Introverts
- Roughly half the population are Introverts which can present a number of challenges, particularly for Extraverted salespeople.
- Introverts usually do their best thinking when they have time to reflect – how can salespeople work this fact into their process?
- Some introverts can be harder to read and use silence as a negotiation tactic. Learning how to sit with the quiet can take years to learn.
- The course covers strategies for influencing Introverts (and Extraverts too).
Here-and-Now versus Future-Focused Buyers
- About two thirds of the population are primarily influenced by focusing on short-term priorities and outcomes. Too much time spent on benefits that will not emerge in the next 2-3 months will dis-engage the potential customer.
- The other third of the population buys primarily for the long-term benefits they will see. If they are not convinced of the future impact, they will not engage – and time spent on short-term solutions will be generally insufficient.
- Graduates of this program are able to make this distinction in their prospects and adjust accordingly.
Relationship versus Pros/Cons Selling
- For many prospective customers, the personal connection they have with their salesperson is more important than what is being sold – the “messenger is the message” for these customers and the salesperson can’t spend too much time on relationship building.
- The other half of the population is influenced primarily through a review of the pros and cons of what is being offered. In fact, if they are not told of the “cons” in an offering, they are likely to be skeptical and slow to engage.
Closers versus Openers
- About 60% of the population are interested in reaching closure early in the sales process. For salespeople who are wired the same way, introducing closing questions (timelines, budget, etc.) is fair game early in the process.
- The other 40% of the population will take longer to warm up and approaches that are too closure-focused early on will dis-engage the buyer.
- The course allows natural closers and natural openers to adapt their style to the needs of their prospect and bring closure into the conversation at the right time.
Aligning with the Buyer's Core Values
- People generally want to make decisions that are consistent with their core values.
- Some people are all about being reliable and responsible and so the salesperson who is most effective with them will emphasize the things that make the offering a safe choice – how long it has been used, by how many people, and so on.
- Others are interested in challenging the status quo and looking for new innovations – the emphasis is less on safety and more around pushing limits and advancing forward. Aligning your offering with these core values for these buyers produces the best results.
- The course uses video interviews to bring these elements to life.
Step Three: Ongoing Resources
The Type-to-Type Tool
Type-to-Type allows sales teams to access adaptive sales communication advice based on the personality combination of any two people on the team. Add your hypothesis of your clients’ personality types, then click on any client and the system takes the guesswork out of the best way to approach your sales conversation with top ten tips for YOUR type working with THEIR type. This resource is provided on an ongoing basis and new team members can be added as they join.
The Coaching Videos
This set of five coaching videos are customized to YOUR personality type and deliver powerful “best practices” for maximizing your strengths and becoming more balanced in your type. The coaching videos are based on TypeCoach’s work with thousands of leaders who share YOUR type, and they are a game-changer for those looking to accelerate their growth as leaders.
Step Four: (Optional) Master Classes
TypeCoach offers a variety of additional 90-minute courses that can be offered as ongoing learning and team-building opportunities after the adaptive sales program. Click on each title to learn more:
