Skills (TRUE COLORS)Skills (TRUE COLORS)
Your True Personality Color
This exercise helps you to not only discover your
own personality, but helps you to recognize
others and the challenges and ways you can
relate with others. We exhibit each and all of
these personality colors, just some are more
prevalent in us and at different times in our lives.
Getting to know yourself and understanding how
you relate to the other personality types is a key
ingredient in learning to relate to others in sales.
