The best sales pros don't just follow a script—they read the person in front of them.

In this episode of Windshield Time, Chris Elmore and James Walker break down how understanding personality types (like DISC) helps techs adapt faster, build trust, and close more calls without sounding robotic.

You'll hear exactly how to spot a Driver at the door, how a Stable personality might hide their objections, and how to adjust your tone and questions to connect faster with each type.
