IDENTIFY THE BUYING STYLE OF EVERY CUSTOMER


TO INCREASE SALES PERFORMANCE

Executive Summary

IDENTIFY THE BUYING STYLE OF EVERY CUSTOMER


TO INCREASE SALES PERFORMANCE

In the same way that eHarmony leverages key factors to match subscribers,
Client Types software identifies the buying style of each customer and translates
that knowledge into actionable steps for each salesperson to create higher close
ratios, more sales and increased insight for sales management.

The company has developed, tested, launched and delivered to sales floors a
fast online assessment tool that identifies a customerʼs buying style and details
how to best interact with that customer.

Client Types is the only software system that identifies the four key behaviors of
buying style, predicts customer behavior/response, and directs the salesperson
how to act/not act to improve the interaction and close more sales. This data has
not been available before in sales environments.

Executive Summary

Know Your Customer Before Selling Begins

Proprietary software identifies the buying style of each customer during a four-
minute multiple-choice survey delivered via email, iPad or iPhone, touch-screen
kiosk or online.

More than 99% of customers who are asked to take the survey do so, based on
over 8,000 surveys taken in person at timeshare resorts and automotive dealers.

Sales performance has increased 10%–30% in these companies. Case study


reports indicate an average 13% volume increase per salesperson in these
companies after using the Client Types system, and that increase is sustained.

For sales management, the aggregated results of a sales floor can be viewed
remotely to diagnose sales floor challenges, optimize efficiencies, assess sales
performance and increase profits.

Case study reports of targeted training show increases of nearly 100%


improvement in challenged areas.

For the salesperson, Client Types software pinpoints predictive behavior,


including key motivations, type of salesperson desired, hot buttons, masks, likely
objections, how to act/how not to act and sample closing phrases, all within
seconds of the survey being completed.

Dear Jason and Sterling,

The Manhattan Club

I wanted to express my thanks to both of you for your recent visits. As you know
firsthand, our staff has been most excited about the inclusion of Client Types as part of
our presentation. Your training with our reps was very exciting and informative. Most.
impressive about Client Types is the idea that it takes the guesswork out of the
presentation and really helps you understand who it is that is sitting in front of you. It
allows the representative to speak the client's language and provide better customer
service. As well we have found that the presentation is less generic and more specific
because we are able to gain an understanding of how our client likes to be dealt with.

The Manhattan Club has been fortunate in that we have been able to bring in some of the
industry's top trainers. These people have been great and while a bit pricey, we have
learned so much from them. I have found however, that Client Types is just taking us to
a whole other place and without any major upfront costs. It is exactly what I was looking
for in the sense that it gets us to the next level. It also allows us to be a better and more
professional sales organization. We want to be as cutting edge as we can be so we can
deliver the best customer service and best product we possibly can. I feel Client Types is
helping us get there.

Some of the other things I have come to appreciate as well in working with Client Types
is the "all-inclusive" nature of your training. You have freely shared training booklets
with us, training websites, webinars, PDFS and more importantly your time. I sincerely
have the feeling that we are in thi.s together and when my business succeeds, your
business succeeds. Your customer service and-support have been first class and for that
we are very thankful.

Since your first visit our site has had record sales figures, and we see this as the
beginning. As our reps continue to use your program, I predict even better results to
come .

. As you can tell, I am a fan and the players on my team are fans. We look forward to a
long and prosperous relationship and I want you to feel free to share this letter with others
that may be considering a relationship with Client Types.

Sincerely

Greetings!

Our agency has been utilizing the Client Types system since March of 2010 with outstanding results.
We are very excited to be using such a cutting edge product in all areas of our insurance and
financial services operations. I strongly recommend the Client Types system to any enterprise that is
searching for a way to increase sales, boost marketing efforts and to retain existing clientele.

In my opinion, the Client Types system is the most innovative and effective client relationship
building tool that we have in use currently. We use the Client Types system to quickly identify each
client's desired communication style to ensure that we are treating them the way that they want to
be treated. In addition, the level of training and support that we have received has been extremely
comprehensive and responsive to OUF specific needs. The Client Types system has far exceeded our
expectations as we are now able to offer efficien('signature service when we help people manage
the risks of everyday life, recover from the unexpected and realize their dreams.

To put it simply, our agency is providing more policies, reaching out to more potential clients and
seeing fewer cancellations as a direct result of incorporating the Client Types system into our
business plan!

To Client Types Staff,

I just wanted to take a moment to tell you that I appreciate that Client Types provides a great training
with our people, and we are already seeing strong results here at Bob Steele Chevrolet. I am particularly
pleased with the customer service from your company, as you seem to be happy to help in answering
questions.

The training that you have provided has been top notch, and it was great to see the buy in from my
staff. I loved that you were willing to come back and make sure to cover additional questions, and
customizations.

There is no doubt that you have a passion for what you do.

I am very happy to say that I can already see increased sales, and I have no doubt that this will improve
even more in time.

I would recommend that anyone looking to gain m~~: sales and a better understanding with the people
that they deal with to take advantage of your services.

Sales Floor Results

The sales floor results on the next few pages reflect the first 4 months
of Client Type use from one of our clients. During the first few 90 day
cycles they used their Client Type Surveys inconsistently and still saw
closing ratios increases by 13% and their Value Per Guest (VPG) soar
up.
They then decided to use our Turn-Key Premium Package (where we
provided a full time person to facilitate the survey upon arrival of the
guests) and their improvement in closing jumped another 5% and the
value of each guest was up again!
The Individual Results pages show how we can track each individual
sales personʼs performance to specially help them improve on their
areas of weakness and share what is working with other salespeople
from their areas of strength. It allows for very targeted training and
management.
Note that some sales people do better with different Client Types. In
Phase 3 (after 90 days with the program), we will teach you how to
match each prospect with the sales person who has the best chance of
closing each individual prospect. Think what that will do to your
results...

Case Study

Client Types Case Study Results

Overview
The following typical results are from a team of timeshare sales representatives
that had all been using Client Types for over two months and then received
standard feedback coaching based on their personal results to that point.

VPG is a timeshare industry term that refers to a $Value Per Guest (a


representation of the rough revenue the sales person brings in on average per
client).

Example 1: Kelly
Two months total data before coaching shows her ability to sell the Heart
Preference was poor, and people with that preference represent half of the
general population.

After being shown her numbers and being given a five minute specific coaching
on how to more effectively sell the Heart Preference her total results over the
next four weeks showed an improvement.

Results: In the area of feedback coaching


Increase in Close % by +3.49 percentage points
Increase in Average Sale Volume by 45%
Increase in revenue by 104%

800-478-4694 • ©2011 Global Client Results, LLC • www.clienttypes.com


Client Types Case Study Results

Example 2: Jeremy
Two months total data before coaching shows his ability to sell the Their Dream
Vision Sales Approach was poor (Their Dream Vision is a combination of the
Heart and Future Preferences), and people with that combination represent a
quarter of the general population.

After being shown his numbers and being given a five minute specific coaching
on how to more effectively sell the Their Dream Vision Sales Approach and
Future Preferences his total results over the next four weeks showed an
improvement.

Results: In the area of feedback coaching


Increase in Close % by +18.18 percentage points
Increase in Average Sale Volume by 84% (compared to overall average)
Increase in revenue by 335% (compared to overall average)

Client Types Case Study Results

Example 3: Chris
Two months total data before coaching shows his ability to sell the Head
Preference was poor, and people with that preference represent half of the
general population.

After being shown his numbers and being given a five minute specific coaching
on how to more effectively sell the Head Preference his total results over the
next four weeks showed an improvement.

Results: In the area of feedback coaching


Increase in Close % by +16.9 percentage points
Increase in Average Sale Volume by 21%
Increase in revenue by 906%

Results Summary
After one 5-10 minute individual coaching session focused on the salespersonʼs
problem area most sales people showed increased sales results in the coached
preference. Any manager using the provided Client Types materials could have
performed the standard coaching.

58% showed large increases in the coached preference (>8% Close rate)
33% showed small increases in the coached preference (>2% to 8% Close rate)
9% showed no statistically significant increase in the coached preference.

Manager Reports:
These reports are designed to enable managers to make decisions about their sales team with accurate information. The manager
800-478-4694 • ©2011 Global Client Results, LLC • www.clienttypes.com

can select any date range, preference and column to sort the results by. These reports can be used to:
• Determine who needs additional targeted training on the specific preference
• Determine which sales person might be best suited to assist with training that preference
• Make choices on which salesperson should work with a specific client
In this report you can see that 4 sales people are doing very well with this preference and have a greater than 15% close rate in the
Heart Preference. However 8 sales people have a less than 10% close rate and either need additional training on the Heart
Preference or should no longer be directed to clients with that preference.

Frequently
Asked Questions

800-478-4694 • ©2011 Global Client Results, LLC • www.clienttypes.com 26


Sales Frequently Asked Questions

Delivering the Survey


Will people answer the survey truthfully?
By in large, the answer is yes. Well over 90% of all clients will take the survey with no
resistance. By presenting the survey in the following way, “We want to give you the best
possible customer service, and also save you some time…” the clients have a built in benefit to
answer in a truthful way. They take ownership of their answers and tend to answer deliberately
and with consideration of each question. Many clients remark after taking the survey that they
found it to be entertaining, and that they like the idea of the time and level of service being
taken into consideration. Companies who use Client Types immediately distinguish
themselves as being innovative, progressive and different from their competition.

Will people refuse to take the Client Types survey?


When the survey is properly presented about 1 in 300 clients will refuse to take the survey. In
this circumstance the Clients Type is still revealed and they are then treated as a Suspicious
Porcupine. Thus even those who refuse the survey have revealed how they prefer to make
buying decisions.

How is the survey given?


The survey can be delivered through the use of an iPad, a touch screen, or any digital device
with the use of a mouse and monitor etc. Many clients find the use of familiarity of a kiosk to
be convenient, and secure.

If we use iPads how do we secure them?


There are several approved methods of securing iPads including digital tracking, and physical
tethering. We are happy to provide ideas and examples of security solutions.

Does everyone in the group take the survey?

It is important for all adults in the party to take the survey. This helps to overcome the “One In/
One Out” Phenomenon. Often in a sales situation one party member can harpoon the deal
and become a “dream killer.” By knowing each clientʼs Type you can help to overcome this
situation from costing you money.

Can Client Types be delivered in area specific languages?


Client Types is currently translated into English, and Spanish. However Client Types can be
translated into any specific language required for a specific area or need.

Can the survey be sent digitally or by email?


The Client Types survey can be sent digitally or through email. You can also increase
customer service and future buy-in from your current database by sending the survey through
email or using it at any point of contact.

Sales Frequently Asked Questions

Using the Survey Results


How do the salespeople get the results?
Results are transmitted instantly over the internet to a secure website. Results may be
accessed from the site from any remote location. This makes the process smooth and easy to
access for front desk personnel, Take Over (TO) representatives, Deeders, and Loss
Prevention Departments.

When is the best time for the sales person to get the Client Types information?
Ideally, right before they meet the client! First impressions are very important and Client Types
helps the salesperson make the right first impression every time.

How will this affect my existing sales script?


You can keep your current script and simply learn to deliver the relevant information to the
proper client.

How does this affect the transition to the TO, Manager or second salesperson?
It actually easier! When using a Take Over system, Client Types provides immediate rapport
building and insight into the Clients motivations, and helps to avoid miscommunications.

What about different cultures and stereotypes?


While there tend to be some cultural trends, most often stereotypes are preconceptions that do
not apply in a practical sense to sales and customer service. Within various cultures, there will
be a mix of Client Types.

Will this affect my Top end Salespeople negatively?


Our statistics show that top producers tend to have the best results using Client Types!
Conversely, people who are not willing to try something new or who fight the system may do
worse! Are your top producers open to new ideas? If so, they will thrive using Client Types.

Does this replace the discovery process or my current sales process?


No. The information revealed through the survey results is used to enhance the discovery
process to help build rapport, and secure buy-in from the client. Client Types allows you to
truly provide a customized experience for the client by focusing on their particular needs and
concerns whatever your sales process.

What if a salesperson has two different clients for one sales presentation?
This is a very common question. Think of most couples you know. The husband and wife are
normally very different. And this is the challenge that Client Types helps you to overcome.
Instead of a shotgun approach and failing to get both clients “in,” you can tailor the information
given to each person. This allows a truly customized presentation, and a much higher level of
communication. By knowing each clientʼs Type, you will be able to give the right information to
the right person at exactly the right time.

Is the training complicated?


Not at all. The first phase of Client Types is very simple and provides a Head, Heart approach.
This is easy to comprehend, and natural to put into action. It is accomplished with three one
hour sessions, and can be completed during a work day without disrupting the schedule.

Sales Frequently Asked Questions

The Client Types System


What is the Client Types product?
Client Types is an amazing new sales tool designed to dramatically increase results for people
in the sales industry. It quickly and easily evaluates your client with a very fast, but powerful
psychological survey accessible from your iPhone, iPad, or any web enabled phone or
computer. Using the results of this survey you will instantly know:
• How your buyer makes buying decisions (logically or emotionally plus other key traits)
• What their true Dominant Buying motives are
• How to match their “Buying Style” with your “Selling Style”
• What kind of salesperson they like to do business with
• How to avoid making them upset
• Key closing phrases tailored to each type of client personality

The Client Types Survey is built on a foundation of decades of psychological research


combined with sales industry expertise.  The survey is fast and easily conveyed as a “quick
tool to help improve customer service and speed up the sales process and improve customer
service.”

How is Client Types different from Social Styles?


Client Types goes a lot deeper than Social Styles. Social Styles is intended to describe a
personʼs preferred interaction style and is often tied into mirroring.
Several things differentiate Social Styles from Client Types:
1. Social Styles only looks at surface behavior and misses the deeper layers.
2. Client Types allows the sales person to see behind the mask of Social Styles.
3. Client Types is focused on how the client buys while Social Styles is focused on how the
client interacts. Client Types has a greater affect on the effectiveness of the sales force.
4. Client Types results are crafted to give the salesperson immediate practical things they can
do to enhance the sales beyond simple mirroring.

How is Client Types different from other psychological surveys?


There are a lot of other psychological surveys and systems available.  You can see on the
Science page of the web site some of the many proven systems that were used in building the
Client Types model.  Two of the more commons surveys you may have heard of are the MBTI
and DISC. Several factors differentiate these two surveys from Client Types:
1. Time: It takes 3 minutes to take a Client Types Survey. DISC and MBTI can take up to 45
minutes each!
2. The Client Types questions are designed to be innocuous ( DISC and MBTI questions can
be overly personal and are designed for deep profiles)
3. The Client Types system is designed to be given to clients (The DISC and MBTI are
designed for internal staff and team development)
4. Client Types results are crafted to give the salesperson immediate practical things they can
do to enhance the sales.  DISC and MBTI are designed to help you understand someone
better, but would then need the salesperson to do lots of interpretation.
