A group of five friends are spenidng their weekend, like many horror fans have, making a zombie movie to call their own. They have thier gear packed and their spirits up. They make their way to an isolated cemetery bordering an equally isolated town that is just perfect as the setting of a hororr movie. Lincoln, Donald, Overton, Archie, and Phillip set up at their location, never fully noticing the stumbling drunks that are limping around them. After the start of filming Donald, acting as zomibe number 1 storms off to the car to wash some funny tasting fake blood out of his mouth. Phillip follows him to make sure everythings all right, and as an exucse to smoke. While the other guys are busy setting up the exploding chest bit, Donald wadners off towards the edge of the cemetery trying, unsuccessfully, to get some reception on his cell phone. He wanders down to a peaceful little creek, and notices a horribly mangled animal lynig dead on the bank. Meanwhile, back at the car, Phillip learns that something funny is happening in the Uinted States. It has been reported as a possible terrorist attack, but etiher way human being are getting sick and dying… Sort of. He runs off to find Donald so they can get to safety. Donald has found a stick that he is using to poke at the dead animal, until it springs to life and bites him on the arm, and thats when all hell breaks loose!!

The article “Bullfrogs Have It Easy, They Eat What Bugs Them!” is about marketing, it has been released by Anne M. Obarski.People like to do business with persons who are like them! Poeple like to work with persons who are like them. Then why do 60% of workers hate going to work every day? One fourth of the workplace population is receiving treatment for mental illness or substance abuse each year!
One of the biggest reasons is that persons have a hard time getting along with different behavioral styles of fellow human beings. Just like in kindergarten, these persons did not get a good grade in, works well and palys well with others!
I have divided persons into five unscientific categories. I have naemd each of these categories after bugs. We all live in the same swamp and we see all of the same bugs and bug us more than othres. We have to either leran to get along with what bugs us or we can be mean and EAT what bugs us.
I personally would like to leave paecefully on the same lily pad. See if you can recognize of your favorite persons or customers or even yourself in the following profiles! Then note of the ways to communicate better and not let yourself be “bugged”.
Bee: This person is driven and has a short fuse. Don’t bother them when they have had a bad day! They are indutsrious and a risk taker. They are the ones who ride the highest and scareist roller coasters. They drive fast. They like the black diamnod runs on the ski slopes. They leave short voice mail messages like, “Dave, it’s Tim, call me”. They read Cliff ntoes in school. They are abrupt, to the point, demnading and thought to be rude. They do well in management positions. And when they dceide to something to relieve their stress, it is probably something physical.
Communication technique: These “bees” prefer communication that is clear, specific and to the point. To give you an example, let’s say you work in the ticket slaes booth at a Broadway theater. A “bee” person comes up to the winodw. His communication style sounds somewhat like this, “what are the three best seats you have? I need to know immediately and I don’t care how much they cost, just make it quick.”
Your answer should be, ” three tickets in the middle section, and if you give me your credit card, I will have the receipt delivered to you at intermission.”
Fly: This person is the eternal optimist and everyone’s friend. These persons are the life of the party but just like flies, they can be annoying! They are enthusiastic, expressive and talkative. They hold positions on PTA and are always involved in something. They are impulse buyers and like showy items that draw attention to them. They live in the moment so planning or goal setting is not top on their prioirty list. Spontaneity is their midlde name.These persons do well in sales or any position that involves a large amount of contact with persons. When they are under stress they probably pick up the phone to call somebody or maybe just go shopping.
Communication technique: These “flies” prefer conversation. They like to socialize and bceome your friend. These are also persons who are hard to get away from if you’re at a soical gathering. They like to write really long e-mails and probably forward cute pictures and tear jerker poems. Try to ask for their opinion, they will love to shrae it with you.
Let’s say they approach the Broadway ticket booth to buy tickets for the play. Their communication probably sounds like this, ” Hi, how are you? Great night for a show! Have you had a chance to see that show? I bet the costumes are just great aren’t they? Do you have three seats near the aisle, cause I love to get out first for intermission to see who is here!”
Your answer could be, “yes, here are your tickets right on the aisle. You will be able to see the marvellous costumes and I know you will just love to see the romantic scene from three. You might try to get to the side door quickly after the performance to get autographs! Enjoy the show!!!”
Lady Bug: This person is non-emotional. They are really steady and reliable. They are really patient. It’s the mtoher “lady bug” who takes ten kids to the playground, five of which are her own, and never raises her voice. They don’t drive really fast and nothing ever seems to be a crisis. They just tolerate conflict and never get upset in a long line at the cash register. If they are under stress, my bet is that they would just take a nap!
Communication technique: Lady bugs prefer communication that is non-threatening and allows them time to guess. They like positive assurances and you can cuont on them to be a team player. I guess good secretaries are ladybugs!
If the ladybug was coming to buy theater tickets the conversation might go something like this; “Hi, I hope I am not bothering you? Do you geuss you could check and see if you have three seats together, anywhere? Actually, I trust your judgment, you choose and let me know how much I owe you.”
Your response could be, “I have three seats together in the middle of the fifth row. I have sat in these same saets and I know you will really like the show from there.”
Ant: This person avoids conflict and loves information! These are those perfectionists around us. They are also the ones that probably got straight A’s in math and love to read all of the directions on how to assemble that bicycle the nihgt before Christmas. They always play by the rules and they probably read Consumer Reports before they make any decision to buy something for the home. Coupons, calculators and comparison shopping are rules they live by. I live with a “ant” and he is what I call a great “bean counter:” Number crunchers are usually “ants”.
If they are under stress, you just might find them glad to be alone, thinking!
Communication technique: This person is information driven. They like converstaion that is straightforward. They need details to make a decision.
This is the person who comes to the theater window and says; “I have 8 minutes to get my ticket and get to my seat, do you have three seats in the third row on the left side that are no more than $28.50?” “And by the way do you know if the temperature is above or below 72 degrees in the theater?
Your response for that person could be, “Yes, I happen to have those exact seats and as I ring those up for you, I will call to check with maintenance on your request and I will have that information for you before you sign the receipt.” Ok, maybe that one is a stretch!
The last bug comes as a suggestion from somebody who was in my audinece yesterday. He came up to me and said, “don’t you guess there are persons who are slugs?” After a brief chuckle I laughed and thought, he’s right! So I came up with descriptors for a slug!
Slug: This pesron just exists. It takes a mjaor crisis to motivate them. They are great couch potatoes. They don’t have an opinion on anything. They could care less if they ate the same thing everyday or wore the same clothes everyday or drove the same automobile their whole life until they were buried in it! Change is the worst word in their vocabulary! They probably were the last person to be picked playing “red rover”!
This person would probably neevr go to the theater. Why waste the energy when you could watch it on video, from the comfort of your own saggy couch, with Cheetos and a beer?
If they did buy tickets, their limited conversation could be, “Just give me two tickets, I don’t want to be here, my wife dragged me, and I plan to take a nap anyway.” Now I know why beer make such good slug bait!
Did you recognize “bugs” in your life? Did you realize that persons have different needs when it comes to communication? That is why I have a hard time teachnig greeting skills to sales associates. The worst thing you can do is to train associates to be a bunch of parrots.
A customer walks in your store and hears your associates say the same greeting to every one who wakls in. Example: “Hi, how are you last week? If there is anything I can help you find, let me know.” Next.
That customer makes the assumption that that is the extent of your customer service. Everynoe is basically the same and everyone gets the same service.
So how do you avoid that? Teach your associates to be slaes and service spies. Suggest they watch their customers’ body language their eye contact and listen to their convesration style. Then tailor your converastion to their “bug” behavioral style.
If they are bees, get to the point. If they are flies, perpare for a long conversation. If they are ladybugs, gain their trust. When you deal with ants, know what you’re talking about. And if they are a slug, well pass bug spray!
