Customer Profile Types 

Every human being has a way of interpreting the information they receive, in the most different forms of language – the capacity that human beings have to produce, develop and understand language. 

In this, we are different from computers, which are programmed to do exactly what they are told, without questioning whether the result is good or bad, or whether this is the best way to do that task.

But like computers, people also have a type of programming that determines how they communicate.

And as we discover the programming people have, the language they use, we start to assertively interpret the messages that they, with other programming, want to convey to us.

In this sense, the assessment of the customer's profile, as the name suggests, is a behavior analysis that seeks to identify their profile at a given time.

It is important to remember that the customer profile does not define who he is, but how he is at that moment. 

All people have main characteristics, which can be considered their essence. But in a given period, they can have different styles.

In his theory, the brain is divided into quadrants: upper right, upper left, lower right and lower left.

Herrmann proposes that one of these quadrants is dominant and this determines our behavior. 

The dominant quadrant of the brain determines the profile of the client - and of people in general

Thus, with a deep understanding of the subject, it is possible to improve your relationship with the people around you.

Whether they are family members, co-workers, customers or anyone else who has a relationship with you, no matter what.

Next, we'll represent each of the customer profiles. To make it easier, each of them will be classified with the name of an animal.
