Sales team caused unnecessary stess

I was recently chatting with the talent acquisition partner of a premier bank. It was a mini analysis that his wife had gifted him. It was going well. It showed that he took unnecessary stress which was causing him sleep problems. Stress is anyways mostly unnecessary and was more so in his case, I told him so. He snapped back saying that "It isn't unnecessary, we are facing high attrition at sales" It was too quick for me to respond. "Good people are going, and the ones that should leave are still here" I looked at his handwriting again, he sure did have a pessimistic and narrow approach to life. "Anyone else leaving doesn't cause nightmares as the sales or business development fellow because if he is good, then he will take the good HNI clients with him. We have increased our engagement activities and its too soon to tell but the boss is losing patience. How can I not get stressed?"

I asked him if he would want to drink water. After a quick gulp, he asked me again "The sales guys are just so temperamental and united... Head jaayega toh team bhi le jaayega." I told him that I understood and I have a solution if only he allowed me to talk. "It is unnecessary stress and can be taken care of. Graphology can help hire candidates who are good at sales and can also tell you if they will stay in your company or not."

He cut me mid statement saying - crystal ball may, but how will graphology?


Handwriting or signature analysis of the candidate can judge the candidates


  • temperamental nature or impulsiveness
  • ambition and greed
  • ability to sell and communicate.
Graphology is the simplest and safest way of accurately judging him/her without the candidate even being aware of it. 


If you find a guy who is low on the first, moderate on second and high on the third trait, hire him and try to keep him happy instead of someone who is so impulsive and carefree that might change jobs even for a measly hike.


Every hiring mistake can cost the company thousands while contributing to poor moral and negative feelings among employees. (There are so many other benefits that graphology can give you while hiring, but i believe that this blog is not the right place, please feel free to mail me at sunayna.navani@gmail.com to know more.)


He didn't say anything. 


Its worth giving a shot I said.


Boss will not agree to such things. I replied, "More than 90% European companies hire through graphology. Few companies in India are getting wise enough to use it and benefit from it. He smiled - I continued, There is a way out but most people wait for others to try, What they unfortunately don't realize is that they are losing money, goodwill, peace in organization.


His stress is unnecessary, he didn't agree to the solution. Wonder what is it that stops people from giving it a try.

  1. its such a genuine question..what is it that stops people from giving it a try?..perhaps the answer is that more than themselves they worry about other's success! if you are providing me a solution, there must be something that you are going to take benefit of..whats your motive?..people forget that yes this could be a solution to my agony but get distracted that why the other person is doing so.. trust and goodwill is going down day by day in this country...Thanks Sunayna for introducing us to your this trait!

  2. I understand what you mean. Pleasure to connect. Thankfully there are some good men left.

  3. That means we need to also have a graphology expert on our team?

  4. It is a science which needs indepth study. You know, I can talk about the letter t and its implications alone for 2 lectures so when my relatives tell me to teach them basic, i can't because alone "a" can take about 2 hours. I knw there are lot of classes who teach in 7 weeks, it is good for tp, but if u really want to go in the depth of an individual, you will have to learn it properly and it will need a little bit of exp to understand the permutations and combinations. I have still not finished designing my course structure. my mom keeps telling me "those can teach, can't do and those who can do, can't teach" so maybe it is true.
