Company excellence through matching in customer contact

                              – is a yellow seller?

                                 •   The salesperson does not tell jokes and does not start small
                                    talk on his own initiative. He strictly sticks to the sales pitch,
                                    avoids interruptions and does not waste time.
                                 •   He avoids touching and hugging.
                                 •   He sets clear deadlines and sticks to them himself.
                                 •   He remains true to his convictions and does not constantly
                                    prove the customer right.

                              – is a green seller?

                                 •   The salesperson delivers his presentation as confidently as
                                    possible.
                                 •   He is not intimidated and scared away by the energetic and
                                    challenging red customer. He is prepared for it and counters
                                    vigorously.
                                 •   In the needs analysis, he focuses on the "what" and "when."
                                 •   He acts  a  little faster than usual  with everything.  But  he
                                    doesn't let himself be rushed either.
                                 •   He focuses on the business. He doesn't think  about the
                                    personal relationship  with the red customer,  what  he thinks
                                    about him or what he thinks of him. Because that is completely
                                    unimportant. At best, the red customer will have confidence in
                                    his competence, not in him as a person.

                              – is a blue seller?

                                 •   The salesperson does not overwhelm  the redhead with
                                    facts  and  figures. He gives him only the most  important
                                    information, gets  to  the point as quickly as possible, and
                                    concentrates on closing the deal.
