“S” STEADINESS DiSC Profile STYLE
The “Steadiness,” or “S” DiSC Profile Style individuals, is also people-oriented – but at a much slower pace than the “i” style. The “S” person doesn’t like to be forced into making changes or quick decisions. They’re patient, loyal, and calm, making them excellent listeners and “peacekeepers” when conflict breaks out. Their focus is on being overly cooperative with people.
You can identify these individuals by their reserved, indirect, but people-oriented approach to others. Their speech may appear softer, with an open posture. They will have relaxed, warm facial expressions and prefer a casual approach.
Selling to the “S” Style:
When selling to the “S” style, it’s important that you listen to them. They need to feel you understand their needs. Assure the individuals that you and your organization are customer- and service-oriented. Just don’t push them into quick buying decisions. Show how you’re interested in a long-term relationship with their company, and that they can depend on you whenever necessary. The “S” style customers are more loyal to you when other vendors come knocking on their door.
