They are usually the CEO of the company, a lawyer, an airline pilot or some kind of position of authority. They like to give orders to other people and they will not hesitate to say goodbye to you on Christmas Eve. The Red’s motto is, “Get out of my way” and “What, or how much is there for me?” “My way or the highway!” Their voice is forceful with the volume and they will take full control of any conversation. They dress for success, the suit, the tie and the pleats. Red is about money! The more the merrier! They believe that network marketing is a “sales” business and they just keep selling, selling and selling! They are 100% NOT trainable. They have a big ego and they will tell you how to run your business, how to sponsor someone they have never met, and how to deal with your mother-in-law. Reds are well connected and know powerful people and it’s great to have them in your business … but don’t try to train them. Let them do it themselves, they will anyway, so save yourself a headache. Reds are focused and goal oriented, they are very intense and will chase money no matter what it costs! Reds don’t like indecision, chatter, loss of control, and whining.

YELLOW:

Yellows make up about 35% of the population and are Open and Indirect. They are nurses, teachers, or a counselor of some kind. They give from the heart and never have time for themselves because they are always doing something for someone else. A yellow will spend its last $ 5 on you. The motto of the yellows is … “Let’s be friends” Their voice is soft and gentle and they dress comfortably, casually. They will be the ones wearing the Birkenstocks and sweatpants. Yellows are reliable and caring team players. They are patient, supportive and loving. They don’t like being sold, pushy pushy salesmen, bullies, or any kind of conflict. The yellow ones have built huge network marketing companies once they learned to believe they could do it. They are family oriented and love to talk about the kids, the holidays, the house. They are really sad that Great Aunt Doris had to enter the assisted living community. Yellows are also overly sensitive, followers, and not very goal oriented. When you talk to a yellow, be yellow.

They don’t want to be bored to death with the details or all the facts and figures. Blues are disorganized, scattered, and have 100 things going on at once. They talk too much, save little, track poorly, and tend to overdo it. Get excited when you talk to blue, talk about the holidays and family, but make it fun. Blue will tell you the story of their life the first time they meet you. They don’t like being alone, not having fun, and lots of facts and figures.

Never push or rush a green, let them figure it all out at their own pace and they’ll call you when they’ve gone through everything or need more information.
