It’s actually not that hard.
And if they have a lot of hidden insecurities, then it’s even easier.
Now, when I say ‘true colors,’ I’m not talking about whether the businesses they run are legitimate or not, I’m talking about their character, their personalities.
A person isn’t truly tested until you push back on them a little bit and push their buttons.
And if you come across those types of people, you may witness one or more of the following:
• Ad hominem: Personal verbal attacks
• Refusal to listen
• Constantly talking over you
• Talking in a loud volume to assert their pseudo-dominance
• Deflecting direct, specific questions
• Overall no interest in having a civil conversation
Would I want to work with someone who acts like that? Of course not.
And this applies to customers as well.
There are certain business owners I follow who openly share interactions with potential customers.
For example:
A potential customer misses the deadline for a promotional offer and emails the business owner to make an exception. Business owner says no, and the potential customer throws a tantrum and accuses the business owner of having bad customer service skills.
