By using personality assessments, you can learn to communicate more effectively with different people and in turn close more sales, hire the right person for the right role in your company, and lead and manage a more cohesive team. 

In today’s episode, I’ll share how we use DISC Personality assessments to: 

• Recruit, hire, and manage the team at Ramblin Jackson, and how you can do that at your company
