What Color Is Your Personality?

Everyone on the planet is primarily one or the other of the following personality “colors”. Blue, Green, Yellow or Red. Which one are you? What does this information have to do with network marketing?
Blues are open and direct. They are fun loving people who will tell you like it is. Blues see the big picture quickly. Did I mention they love to have fun? Blues love to party. Blues are scattered. Sticky notes and scraps of paper are strewn all over the desk of a blue. But…it’s an organized mess, they will tell you. The blue will tend to talk too much, be poor savers, and poor at follow through. They are generally disorganized and exaggerate. Blues talk loud and fast. Their dress is colorful and flamboyant. They will wear Hawaiian shirts and “loud” clothes. The blue personality dislikes not having fun. They dislike facts and figures and being alone is torture to a blue. Blues are good promoters. They are convincing, enthusiastic, have lots of energy and are very creative. Blues see the big picture very quickly. They don’t need a lot of facts and figures. If you are working with a blue, you don’t want to bore them with a lot of statistics and data. Give them an overview and let them know how much fun they will have and they will join you in an instant. In order to work with a blue, you need to get them focused. They need lots of direction and redirection. Blues are warriors. Once they are focused and having fun, they will build huge organizations and never quit. Blues comprise 15% of the population.
Greens are the opposite of blues. They are indirect and self contained. They are soft spoken and pronounce their words properly. Greens like statistics and data. More data, more data, more data is what the green personality needs. The green’s idea of fun is creating a new spreadsheet or analyzing data. They are very organized. Greens suffer from analysis paralysis. They are very hard to please. They tend to be depressed and lonely. Greens are good at follow through. They don’t understand how the blue can be so scattered and unorganized. Greens are persistent. They are the planners and organizers. Green’s dislike pushy, aggressive people. They dislike not getting all the facts. They dislike being late. Greens will give you short, one word answers. They don’t expand on them and you have to pull the information from them. If you are working with a green, give them more data, more data, more data. The one who gives a green the most data and the most accurate data wins. Greens comprise 35% of the population.
Yellows are open like the blues, but indirect like the greens. They will answer your questions, but won’t expand on them unless it’s a topic they are comfortable with. Yellows are family oriented. They are the nurturers, the teachers, nurses, and counselors. Yellows are very dependable. Their dress is casual and comfortable and their speech is soft and gentle. They are team players. Yellows are patient, supportive and sensitive. Yellows are generally followers and not leaders. They tend to be overly sensitive. Yellows are not goal oriented. They dislike pushy people, bullies and conflict of any kind. If you are working with a yellow, let them know how they can help others. Show them that you will be there to support and help them. They like to be part of a team. Yellows comprise 35% of the population.
The remaining 15% of the population are the Reds. The reds tend to be the pushy, aggressive salespeople that the most other reds dislike and that the other 85% of the population dislikes. Their motto is “Get out of my way!”. Reds are CEO’s, pilots, and attorneys. They hold high powered positions. Reds are goal oriented, focused and intense. They are hard to coach. Reds have big egos and short tempers. They are dressed is business attire even when it is not required. Reds like money, power and control. They have to be in control. Reds dislike indecision, idle chit chat and losing control. If you are working with a red, stroke their ego. Tell them how wonderful they are and how you are going to love working with them. They love to feel important. Reds comprise 15% of the population.
If you are in a network marketing company, you must have an email geared toward each color. A generic email will probably appeal to whichever color matches yours, but will probably not appeal to the other three colors. You must learn to talk to each color in terms they will respond to. This information will help you in your business and personal life. It will help you to become a better communicator and enhance all of your relationships.
