Analysis
In examining the difference between the PI patterns of the top and bottom Telesales Agents, the most significant factor is the B Factor (Extroversion). Top performing Telesales Agents are significantly more extroverted. This results in a person who is more able to quickly connect socially and interpersonally with a customer or prospect, and is a lively, fluent and persuasive communicator. During their conversation with a customer or prospect, they will be warm and socially poised, and will be on the lookout for ways to bond with the person. These top performing Telesales Agents are more naturally outgoing, enthusiastic, and optimistic. Because of the width of their “B over A” spread, by nature they attempt to see the other person’s concerns, needs and perspective, and are genuinely empathetic. They find contact with other people to be energizing and stimulating, meet and connect with new people easily, and are more “outwardly focused” (i.e. on other people) than “inwardly focused” (i.e. on themselves).
