Asher Sales Training programs deliver Emotional Intelligence training and development at a granular level. Participants first take a personality assessment, the Advanced Personality Questionnaire (APQ). This assessment delivers a comprehensive view of students’ nine personality trait scores on a scale from 1%-100%. By reviewing personality at this granular level, participants learn not only what their personality style is, but the data behind WHY they have that style. What is Emotional Intelligence?
The journey to increasing one’s emotional intelligence through Asher’s sales training programs begins with a thorough understanding of the 9 Primary Personality Traits. They include:
Measures “fire in the belly” and results-orientation
Measures team player vs. entrepreneurial spirit
Measures level of confidence to confront or control others
Measures social motivation and versatility
Measures intuition vs. “analysis paralysis” in decision making
Measure on-task behavior vs. service orientation
Measures attitude (victor vs. victim)
Measures skepticism vs. belief in others
Measures ability to handle criticism or rejection
The APQ gives participants’ their scores for each trait between 1-100%. Any trait reflecting an extreme score (<20 or >80), is identified for laser-focused training. An extreme score (high or low) produces natural strengths and blind spots. This process of identifying extreme personality traits addresses Emotional Intelligence training at the foundational level of Self-Awareness and Self-Management.

Now participants explore their personality style and how it differs from the other three styles. Discussions of each style result in collaborative communication of tolerance and appreciation of differences, as each style embodies natural strengths the others don’t possess. This understanding of the four personality styles delivers opportunities to learn matching and mirroring techniques which increase rapport and effective communication. Through this process, participants reach higher levels of Emotional Intelligence involving awareness and connecting with others.
Asher continues Emotional Intelligence development by relating specific extreme personality traits to sales challenges.
For example, using assertiveness (just one of the nine traits), we can identify the below based on their scores to more effectively coach, manage and train.
