Analyzing Your Clients Right

Getting the right communication style lies at the heart of successful client connections. However, achieving this feat often presents challenges:

  • Establishing rapport in a cold client relationship poses difficulties in data collection.
  • Limited client data impedes the accuracy of communication predictions.
  • Validating communication styles can prove daunting to those lacking specialized training.

At Mindreader, our guiding principle centers on the evolving nature of client relationships. As the temperature of a lead's engagement progresses—from cold to warm to hot—our capacity to extract meaningful insights deepens. 

With each stage, we amass valuable data, refining our ability to predict communication styles with increasing precision. Our predictive capabilities start at a baseline confidence level of 70% and soar to an impressive 95%.

Mindreader's “Analyze Client“ process is meticulously crafted to adapt to the nuances of diverse sales journeys. Whether navigating through initial cold interactions or nurturing established relationships, our dynamic approach ensures that your communication strategies remain effective and finely tuned to your client's evolving needs.

Mapping the 4 Stages in Your Sales Journey

Acknowledging the predictable patterns inherent in sales endeavors, Mindreader presents four discernible sales stages, each accompanied by its recommended prediction methods. 

  1. Not Approached
  2. Opening Appointment
  3. Closing appointment
  4. Done Deal

By harmonizing your strategy with the designated stage, you can elevate your client profiling endeavors to attain optimal accuracy levels:

Three Pathways to Precision Prediction:

At Mindreader, we offer three distinct pathways to predict your client's communication style. Each method boasts varying levels of accuracy, along with their unique advantages and considerations:

AI Prediction: 

Harnessing cutting-edge technology, AI prediction proves invaluable in scenarios where client relationships are in their infancy and data is scarce.

Our AI system is trained on vast datasets comprising tens of thousands of faces and words. It identifies linguistic and physiognomic patterns to establish correlations between personality traits, facial landmarks, and written text. 

While AI prediction offers the quickest results among the three methods, its reliance on minimal data may lower confidence scores. However, its key advantage lies in its applicability even in cold client relationships.

User Quiz: 

Engage in a quiz specifically designed to profile your client's communication type. 

This method involves completing an academically rigorous quiz that delves into behavioral aspects to derive personality insights from a third-person perspective.

However, the accuracy of the User Quiz relies heavily on the user's understanding of the client. This may pose challenges in situations with limited interactions or when the salesperson lacks sufficient observation of the client's behaviors.

Client Quiz

Invite your client to participate in a tailored quiz aimed at unveiling their communication preferences. Clients are incentivized to take part, as they receive a diagnostic report as a reward for their involvement. 

This method involves probing internal decision-making processes from a first-person perspective. 

While the user does not need to complete the quiz themselves, they must cultivate a strong client relationship to encourage client participation. Mindreader provides users with templated messages to facilitate early client engagement and incentivize quiz completion.

Navigating Accuracy and Reliability

In the pursuit of precision, Mindreader adheres to a hierarchy of prediction methodologies:

AI Prediction: 
Although advanced, AI predictions exhibit a marginally lower accuracy rate of 70-90%%, reflecting its supplementary role in the prediction process. It is meant to be used in the worse case when the relationship is cold and no other data is available.
User Quiz: 
Offering a dependable alternative, the User Quiz consistently achieves accuracy rates of 90%.
Client Quiz: 
Regarded as the gold standard, boasting an impressive accuracy range of 95%, this method prioritizes the client's self-assessment as they provide direct input.

Theoretical Limitations

While we provide baseline accuracies for prediction pathways, results may vary due to data quality, algorithms, and contextual factors. Personality and behavior are influenced by diverse factors such as culture and biology.

Mindreader views personality as a spectrum rather than distinct categories, aiming to identify the top two likely personalities (Knight, Explorer, Healer, Wizard) for effective sales approaches based on client data.

The User Quiz and Client Quiz boast theoretical accuracy, yet both encounter shared limitations:

  • Reliance on the client's mood
  • Variability based on the client's level of self-awareness
  • Sensitivity to the client's understanding of the questions posed

Mindreader sets accuracy benchmarks for all methods, but practical application may yield disparities due to data quality and algorithm differences.

Discrepancies often arise where one method suggests a specific type while another proposes an alternative. Each method employs unique data inputs and algorithms, leading to occasional disparities necessitating reconciliation.

The quizzes are prioritized over AI predictions for their history in academic research, with the client quiz deemed more accurate than user quiz due to direct client involvement.

In Practice

In practice, we recognize that sales professionals prioritize conversion performance over personality theory.

In our Human Intelligence System, we advocate for adaptable sales approaches akin to water, allowing salespeople to dynamically communicate with any personality, particularly when clients are unresponsive.

While Mindreader strives for accurate predictions, perfection in every client interaction is unrealistic. Instead, the ability to diagnose and adapt to various communication styles takes precedence over achieving 100% accuracy in predicting these styles.
