Closing to the Melancholy

I am phlegmatic. (If you don't know what that means, you - as a sales person should!).  I am selling to a melancholy this week. I am setting aside my traditional presentations and designing one just for the melancholy spirit in my client.  Not that he is a hard close, but he is a different close.  One I am not used to or comfortable with.  I will be closing with lists, figures and numbers. I will be putting friendship, partnership, cutting edge on the back burner for this one.  He speaks security and numbers.  I will be presenting ideas in lists.  I will be listening alot to what he has to say and listing those ideas.  Tommorrow, I meet with a Senguin (fast people oriented personality).  Those lists will never do.  I will have to look up or develop a close that matches his style. Let's see.  Bright colors, exotic materials and time is of the essence. How will my proposal make him stand out?  How do I make services "pop" (literally!!) Hmmm.

This could get interesting!
