You remember patterns from the past and quickly guess what will work with a given person. Pitching a project, winning over a landlord or rounding up volunteers, you find the argument that clicks. You like deals where everyone walks away ahead, and you are often the one who sets them up.
What several sources agree on
- This channel links the Spleen to the Heart, so your instinct feeds your will to persuade.
- You often spot what would make people's daily life better, and you know how to offer it.
- You persuade best when you believe in what you back; pushing a sale you doubt wears you down.
- Your willpower comes in bursts, so give yourself rest between two pushes to persuade.
- You can turn a setback into an opening and get out of a jam quickly.
The trap
Dressing things up until you promise more than you can deliver, then losing the trust you built.
