LEARNING THE SECRET LANGUAGE
"BLUES"
First let’s focus the “Blue” Personality:
Blues make up 15% of the population. Blues are open and direct. They are the party animals! You ask them a question and they don’t quit answering. They just keep going and going and going until you have to interrupt them to ask the next question. THAT is direct. A Blue will tell you their life story, including all the gory details you never wanted to know. The combination of open and direct means that a Blue is very confident in what they know and what they do. They can walk up to anybody and talk about anything. Blue loves being with people and is always the life of the party. They see the big picture; sponsor lots of people fast; they need support to train and build their downline into a solid unit.

The reason you are so successful in life and in business is that you are an excellent promoter. You’re energetic, enthusiastic, motivating, convincing. You always see the big picture. You’re the life of the party, and You’re one of the most creative people on the planet. You can create it, but you can’t build it. Your problem is, you are unorganized. You’re scattered. You’ve never balanced a checkbook in your life. The first thing I’d do in mentoring you would be to help You start using systems to keep yourself organized. Then you won’t be so scattered. And you can focus on your follow-up. That can change Your life overnight.
"YELLOWS"
Now let’s focus on the “Yellow” Personality.

"GREENS"
Next let’s focus on the “Green” Personality:
Greens make up 35% of the population. Understand something. When you’re talking to a Green, they’re trying to calculate and figure out ahead of you why you’re asking the question. So you need to take a breath. You need to slow down. You can’t talk too fast with a Green. They are indirect & self-contained. They think they’re the smartest people on the planet. So what they do is, they try to figure out, calculate and analyze why you’re even asking them the question. So ask the question and let it sink in before you go on. Slow down the pace. The indirect will not give you more information than they think you need. (Yellow & Green) They enunciate their words correctly and they talk slower, so that while they’re talking, their mind is still figuring out why you’re asking the question. In fact, Greens spends so much time in their head, trying to figure things out, that they get paralysis by analysis. Recognize that. Give Greens a breathing space when you talk to them. Green expects you to listen to what they have to say. If you don’t listen to them, they’ll scratch you off their list. And never be late with a Green. If you have an appointment with them, be on time or early. One minute late is noticed and frowned on. Greens are very punctual people. They pride themselves on being punctual and correct. Strengths:- the most organized
- great planners
- dependable
- task persistent
- great on follow through
- accurate
- problem solvers
Weaknesses:
- perfectionists very hard to please
- naturally pessimistic about everything
- paralysis by analysis – inability to make a decision, for fear of being wrong
Relating to a Green: Be time disciplined; logical; prepared; respectful of rules; supportive of their thoughts; structured and well organized; precise. Mentoring a Green:A gentleman walked up and stopped. He read the big banner. His arms were crossed. He had a shirt with a breast pocket, pen in the pocket. He wore khaki green pants, a crease down the middle where they’d been ironed, and penny loafers. He looked at me and ordered, “Mentor me!” “If I was to be coaching you, I’d start working on Your weaknesses. Your weaknesses are that you overanalyze everything. You’ve lost a ton of money because of your inability to make a decision. You’ll sit there and think about it, think about it, analyze it, wonder why you shouldn’t do it, why the glass is halfempty. “You have a problem with depression – you easily get depressed. You have a problem with loneliness. And you’re very pessimistic. “But it’s amazing how many strengths You have. You’re one of the most organized people. You are an amazing planner. You’re a dependable problem solver. You are task persistent. You are amazing on follow through. And everything you do is accurate. “But the problem you’ve struggled with your whole life is being pessimistic about everything. You have no belief that You will ever be a huge success in life. You’re always looking at why it’s not going to work. You think, ‘It’ll work for everybody else, but it’s not going to work for me.’ “You use a lot of words like try, maybe, could, possibly, we’ll see. “And what I would do to coach you is to help you realize that You have to learn to be decisive. You have to learn to go with it, be tuned in to your gut feeling and go with it. “The words you speak are critical, because you speak Your reality into existence. When you say negative things, you are actually putting those things into Your life. That’s exactly what you do. And that’s why You’re so unhappy.” To learn more about Color Personalities, Get our free eBook and plug into a system that will teach you everything you need to know about communicating with your prospects.
"REDS"
Finally let’s focus on the “Red” Personality: Reds make up 15% of the population. A Red is very direct , like the Blue. But what happens is, sometimes people think they’re being open, when they’re not. They are just very, very direct.Direct and self-contained. They will go right to you and want to know why you are asking that question. But then they’re also self-contained, like the Green. They won’t show you their weakness. It’s critical to them that they keep that away from you. Red is so direct in answering your question that you might think they’re being open with you. But they aren’t. They’re being direct, and they are going to control the conversation. They’re going to ask you a question, and don’t think you’re going to avoid the question. They will get their questions answered. Red is money motivated, driven by money. Everything in their core revolves around money, success and being #1 in the company. Yellow isn’t at all focused on money, and they often have more of it than Red. Red also demands a show of respect. If a Red calls you and decides to join your network marketing business, don’t dare try to stick them under somebody else. They are going to be sponsored directly frontline to you, or not at all. “I don’t need anybody to burp me, diaper me and hold my hand. So don’t you think you’re going to put me under somebody else.” So don’t go there. Don’t think you’re going to coach Red because Reds are not coachable. You go out to eat with a Red; they try to order you to eat what they’re eating. If you meet with them in their office, they never tire of telling you how their company’s success depends entirely on their actions. Strengths:
- the best negotiators
- have lots of energy
- risk takers
- confident
- natural born leaders
- action, not talk people
- independent
Weaknesses:
- Big ego guys
- Domineering
- Un-teachable
Relating to a Red: Be practical; brief; assertive; to the point; supportive of their goals; respectful of their time; show strength. If someone like that joins your business, just let them get on with it – they might build you a fantastic downline leg or leave you because they don’t like your style. Take your pick! Mentoring a Red:This section is purely hypothetical, because Red would NEVER ask anyone to mentor them. And if you try, they won’t pay any attention to you … because they are Red. “It’s my way or the highway!” So most Reds are not open to any coaching, even one little bit. Only when life has totally knocked them for a loop, then they may open up a bit to coaching. Let’s say you’re dealing with THAT person. Here’s what you say: “You have great strengths. You are an amazing producer. You are the best negotiator. You have energy to burn. You are a risk taker, a leader. You have confidence. You take action. And You’re independent. You’ll just take right off and start doing it. But there are problems, too. The first thing you need help with is your ego. You think you’re perfect. You think you’re always right. You think you’re the only one with an idea. But you’re not. You are domineering. You are short-tempered. And the biggest problem you have is, You are just unteachable. The only time you can ever learn from anyone else is when you’ve had your butt kicked, when you’re down on the ground, down on your knees, and you reach up your hand. When you finally get there, THEN You are coachable. The biggest thing that would make a huge difference in Your life is to understand the other personalities. They all have great value, equal to yours, and you don’t realize that. This will totally change Your life. But the fact is, you’ll probably never do it – because you are Red.”
