How does it work?

Well, imagine meeting your next customer or client.  Imagine your initial greeting of each other - polite and perhaps even a bit formal… Quickly, you mentally check three elements of their behaviour - and immediately understand their type.  You can now anticipate their decision-making process, their likely responses to your questions - their wants, their needs, their motivations and their preferences.

You consciously (but only slightly) adapt your behaviour and your own communication style to suit that interaction.  They will walk away from that meeting with an unconscious (or perhaps even conscious) sense of connection with you. "What a nice guy".  "She seems a trustworthy person".  "They made me feel really comfortable".  "It seems like I have know them for years!"

A great practical illustration is found at my dinner table… let me explain… my two sons are both left handed.  It is a physical preference of theirs.  It's not MY preference - I am firmly on the right handed preference spectrum.  But when they come over for a Sunday lunch, I set their places at the table with the knife and fork round the way THEY prefer.  Not MY way round… THEIR way round.  Now, this takes little or no actual work… almost no effort at all… but it DOES rely on my being aware of their preference.

In social and workplace situations, if we 'set the table' psychologically, for another person according to THEIR preferences - rather than our own, then we are connecting at a broader, deeper and more influencing level than ever before.  

I tell you now, if it's better business results you're after, then APA is a sure route to success; why?  Well, we all know that, people buy people first… probably even more so in your area of business.  Relationships - not money - are the true currency of business.  So doesn't it make sense to understand how to help people get to know you, like you and trust you?  With Applied Psychometric Awareness this becomes a simple - yet incredibly powerful process.

If you like the idea of finding out more about yourself and others… and you want to know a few answers to the question "What makes people tick…?" Then let's get started as soon as possible.
