Qualify your client on the front end and determine what you want from the transaction. Identify and trust your own feelings. 4.40 Pre-engage with the client, whether that’s through your first line reception or call center. Check your filters and hoops so your clients fit your particular criteria. 6.30 According to Nick, trusting your sixth sense is paramount; emotions play a huge part in the decision-making process no matter how impartial your structures and filters in business may be. Identify those with similar energies. Finely tune your “people radar” in the workspace just as you would in a social situation. 8.25 Does your heart react faster than the brain? Nick talks about how you can make more influential decisions minus ego. 11.01 Listen to your senses, use your logic.

Let them go and give your time and energy to the clients who share your values. 20.00 If it feels wrong, it probably is!
