Based on years of negotiation experience, the LavenirAI team have defined the 5 most common types of sales persona’s. Each sales avatar uses different language, emotions and body gestures when they are talking with you. They also react differently based on the language you use when talking to them.
For example you can practice negotiating with a logical, analytical, methodical negotiator and then switch to a domineering, inpatient individual who likes to take charge and is not always open to collaboration.
