Personality FINAL – You are how you accessorize!
At this point, we hope you have figured out who you are and maybe you have figured out who some of the people on your team are. However, what is an easy way to size someone up that you do not know that well – like a hostess.
CHECK HER ACCESSORIES…specifically you will find that her purse or her family/living room says it all!
Leader/Lions –
These women carry the smallest purses you have ever seen. They only want the necessities – a Driver’s License, keys and a credit card or some cash. Why do you need a big purse for that – in fact some carry only a wallet or no purse at all!
And check out the Leader’s living room. You will find it to be clean and sparse. You will not find many "knick-knacks" or collectibles. It is likely she will have a leather coach or at the very least a couch in a solid color.
Organizer/Beavers –
These women have the neatest purses in the world. They truly believe that there is a place for everything and everything in its place. Check out their wallets – that is the best! They have sorted their cash by denomination and in graduated amounts and charge cards are most likely found in alphabetical order.
An Organizer’s living room is, surprisingly, not always in the best of shape. An Organizer is always in the middle of (go figure) organizing. In addition, because her goal is perfection, she is always in the process of getting things done. It is highly likely that an Organizer’s couch is plaid. She loves things that are symmetrical.
Cheerleader/Otters –
A Cheerleader will have the largest purse in the room. In fact, we know one cheerleader who carried not only a large purse but also a satellite purse inside the large purse. In her purse, you will find everything under the sun. She carries it all "just in case". She shall remain nameless, but this Cheerleader even carries a couple of spare Fed-Ex envelopes in her purse. Is it for an emergency overnight shipping of important documents? Well, maybe; but more likely she found that the sticky part of the envelope worked very well as a lint remover!
A Cheerleader’s couch usually has a lively print. Her living room often is very busy. You will often find any and all prizes and awards she and her family have received on display.
Care bear/Golden Retrievers –
The contents of these purses can be similar to a Cheerleader however, the distinction here is that often a Care bear’s purse is made of a soft material. It is all about how it feels – Care bears LOVE a nice quilted purse or a very soft leather material.
A Care bear’s living room has a couch that is nice and cozy – usually with afghans on it. Her shelves are full of pictures of people who are important in her life.
Knowing what makes you tick and how others react to you (and vice versa) will do wonders for you as you continue to grow your business. It is also extremely useful when working to get along with your family!
