Of all the Talent Dynamics profiles, the Deal Makers rely most on the relationships around them. A Deal Maker’s value grows as they become more accessible. They are constantly on the phone and on the move. They create most value by spotting connections around them. Once the deal is done, the new value created enriches everyone involved.
