This sales professional/entrepreneur is all about how things make them feel and how they make others feel. They need to continually do a gut check, they need to feel the ideas and solutions both physically and emotionally before taking action. This creates struggles with slow decision-making and feeling too “salesy” when things don’t feel right.

They’re the ones who talk to customers with a slower and rhythmic pace because they want to ensure the people they are communicating with feel good through their conversations. They rarely put a lot of thought into things and rely very heavily on their gut instinct and how things make them feel, how things feel to them and how they make others feel.

The feeler sales professional/entrepreneur likes a hands on approach, they need to tap into the emotions of the ideas in order to make decisions. They struggle with taking action if they can’t.

A feeler needs to be able to connect with a cause in a business opportunity and they need people to come to them. They need clients referred to them because approaching people from a sales capacity shuts them down. They are afraid to upset people and are very uncomfortable with the feeling of having to sell. They can feel like sales and slimy and sleezy and it makes them too uncomfortable. They manage their environment as if it’s a family and friend gathering.
