Are you a straight shooter?
Do you prefer straightforward, no fluff, direct talk?
Chances are that you can come across as intimidating, competitive, egotistical, demanding and even aggressive to other people.
This is what we call the high "D" communication style of a "Director".
While it helps to be persistent, goal oriented and fast on taking action, it's a knife that cuts two ways.
Knowing that a country like Australia has roughly 18% of "Directors", it means that your communication style backfires 82% of the time with the general population - assuming that you don't cause friction with other "Directors".
When it cuts that deep that it hurts, it's time to do something differently.
As a leader, you might experience the revolving door with staff coming and going... Costing the business greatly in recruitment fees, marketing and training and development...
In sales, clients will be quick to sign up but take up the cooling off period a lot of the times too because they felt pressured or sold to...
In teams, you will get...

- a trusted advisor to clients
- a highly respected BDM or sales professional
- a team player that excels
- a loving spouse, parent, family member, or friend
- a happy human being that isn't phased by what others say or do
Some of the best work we have done...
Your marketing SUCKS!
| I'm not being rude here. It's just a fact if you don't get this right. While I was working with a sales team yesterday, it occurred to me how much people are hard wired to market their message, communicate with other humans and network for business purposes in a way that TOTALLY alienates the brain. Have you ever heard of "premature invitation"? What it comes down to is us walking over to a stranger at a bar asking him/her to come home with us right away. If you ever tried this, no matter your personal charm, confidence, sales skills and communication abilities, chances are that you soon learned the hard way - in the face. The same way you wouldn't do this to start dating someone you fancy, you wouldn't go for the kill in your marketing messages. At least, until you assess how you have been doing it until now...
