MPQ™ – Meeting People Questionnaire™

The MPQ™ assesses the fear of self-promotion in non-salespeople. Based on the same research that produced SPQ*GOLD®, the MPQ™ replaces sales-specific terminology with general contact-initiation language about networking, making introductions, building customer relationships, and more.

MPQ™ Based on the pioneering Sales Call Reluctance® research of George Dudley and Shannon Goodson, the MPQ™ is designed to measure attitudes toward contact initiation in non-salespeople. The hesitation to initiate social contact can hamper a wide range of personal and career goals, from climbing the corporate ladder to finding a new job to meeting a mate.
