How to Spot a "C": Conversation: Formal & Factual. Example: "Mr. Hall, where is the justification for your request?" Pace: Methodical, procedure-driven, analytical. Example: "Please follow the timeline exactly as it is." Tone: Business-like, controlled, logical, listens quietly & then asks why. Example: "Our current software is working, why buy the new version?" Focus: Procedures, accuracy, quality. Example: "We will ship the parts when they are correct." Power Cues: Spreadsheets, technical manuals, books, reference materials are sequenced.
How to Talk with a "C": Approach: Be exact, logical, & structured. Example: "You will see the proposal begins with an in-depth analysis of our distribution vendors." Wants: Justification, facts, data & prefers email. Example: "This report provides the pros & cons as to whether we should be running 2 or 3 shifts." Pace: Allow time to analyze & strategize. Provide: Organized, detailed agenda. Save Them: Interaction & congratulatory attention. Start with Business Overview, purpose, not a friendly anecdote. Example: "As you see in the outline, we will be assessing the viability of the stock."
