Have you ever heard of Sales Dogs? Sales Dogs is profiling system that compares the different breeds of dogs to the different types of sales personalities in humans. The system is designed to help us improve our selling skills.
In my opinion, I believe this system is beneficial to more than your typical salesperson, typical being Realtors, Auto dealers, Stock Brokers, etc. I feel that Sales Dogs is a great learning tool for everyone regardless of their profession because, believe it or not, we’re all in sales.
On any given day we’ll try to convince somebody to do something that we want, we'll even try to talk ourselves into or out of certain things. Need examples? Have you ever tried to force yourself to wake up earlier to workout? That an example of you “selling” yourself on getting healthy (whether you decide to get up earlier or not).
If you’ve ever applied for a job, you’re in sales because you’re trying to get the company to “buy” into what’s on your application or resume. If you’ve ever tried to convince someone to go to a certain movie, restaurant, bar, shopping mall….that selling whether you get your way or not.
Sales is the act of trying to convince someone to buy into some-thing; a thought, idea, concept, belief, desire, etc. Regardless of how big, small, or awkward the thing is that you’re trying to get convince someone to buy into, that's sales in my opinion.
I first took the test about 10 years ago, then again in October 2018. As I changed directions in business (from Realtor to Real Estate Consultant), the results of my profile changed. The results of my recent profile test were pretty accurate, you can view it below.
If you’d like to find out what kind of Sales Dog you are according to the website, you can do so by Clicking Here. And in order to get the best and most accurate results, be sure to answer the questions honestly. The last time I took the test there were only 10 simple, yet thought provoking questions to answer about yourself (you should block 20-30 minutes to take the test so that you’re not rushing). The results may surprise you!
Now the question is, have I “sold” you on taking the test or visiting the website? I hope so!
