How Prédom can assist you

Communication – Team dynamics – Management – Pedagogy – Marketing
To know where we are going, we need to know where we are now.
Because it provides a photo of our preferential way of functioning, Prédom elucidates how we work on the job, and, more specifically, how we argue and how we manage.
Communication
What does Prédom bring to you?
Precise information concerning:
- The person’s approach to contact with others: Is it only to inform or to establish a connection?
- The person’s approach to convincing another person: Is it to demonstrate, to prove, to implicate the other person, or to inspire the person?
- What kind of arguments does he or she find convincing?
- What kind of vocabulary and sentence structure does he or she prefer to use?
And when this information is considered as a whole, it will tell you:
- How to identify and to convince individuals with each type of profile
- How to generate a communication that speaks to an audience with diverse profiles
Going beyond the interpretation of the profile of an individual, what does Prédom also tell us?
- Depending on the profile, whether the individual requires abundant or limited communication
- Whether the individual is more of an idealist (“It would be necessary to…”) or a realist (“It is necessary to…”)
- Whether the person communicates indirectly (“Has the work been done?) or directly (“Have you done the work?”)
- What the person relies on to be convinced and to convince others. Is it facts? Numbers? Ideas?
- How to identify the person’s preferences through his or her nonverbal language: quantity of gests, amplitude of the gests, tone of voice

- How the different members of the team interreact with each other: their dissimilarities, their oppositions, their complementarities?
- The implication of the team in corporate life, its rapport with others.
- What is needed to reinforce the team.

- “Practician”: Practical, oriented to “exercises”

Marketing and sales
What does Prédom bring to you?
- Which of the following seven key rudiments does the person prefer and perhaps overly emphasize? numbers, security, sympathy, novelty, comfort, originality, ecology? What are those that he/she neglects or perhaps doesn’t even realize exist?
Going beyond the interpretation of the profile of the individual, what does Prédom also tell us?

- How to construct a persuasive argument.
- How to adapt our marketing/sale to our target.
“For whom?”: This question is evident!
“How?”: This aspect is more complex!
Predom shows its full value by answering “how”.
Prédom tells us:
1.What are the drivers for change in an individual?
For example: To perform better? To avoid inertia? For better well-being?
