16 Motivators

Have you ever tried to…..

• Share something amazing with someone
• Send out a marketing message
• To motivate an employee

…and it didn’t work? Not only did they not respond the way you thought they should, but maybe your efforts had the opposite effect.

What did you do? Become more forceful? Try to be logical? Reason with them?

The thing is they probably aren’t motivated the same way you are. The harder you try to motivate others the way you are motivated, the more frustrated you’ll become and the less successful you’ll be.

Wouldn’t it be better to understand what motivates them, appeal to their motivators, and speak their language in a manner that causes them to want to listen to you, buy from you, follow your instructions?

Self-Hugging
The problem is we don’t naturally perceive the motivation of others. We naturally believe that what motivates us not only SHOULD motivate others, but that IT DOES motivate them.

And that’s not the case at all…

The 16 Basic Desirs
Yes, we do have 16 Basic Desires in common. What is different, what makes us unique, is the intensity and combination of these desires in each of us. Once you understand your Motivation Profile, you can begin working more effectively with others. Better yet, you can anticipate where there will be conflict between you and others, and possible weaknesses in your marketing, sales, and leadership efforts.

Can you imagine what you would do with this information? What if you knew how a person makes a buying decision? What if you could predict an employee’s behavior? What if you could anticipate conflicts and opportunities in your life?

The good news is the hard-work has been done for you. A simple 128-question test will reveal your Motivation Profile. Once you have this knowledge, you will become aware of your blindspots, and you’ll be able to perceive the motivators of those around you or the people you wish to market to and persuade.

What about your team? What if you knew the Motivation Profile of each team member? Isn’t it true you could then make sure the right person is in the position? You wouldn’t have to keep haranguing the problem employee. You’d know where they should be positioned and how to motivate them to perform.

The applications are endless:

• Recruiting/Human Resources
• Marketing
• Sales
• Business Coaching
