Whether you’re getting locating information, calling clients, or trying to convince them to come back in, trust your gut about what’s going on. If you sense that something’s amiss or going well, trust it and react accordingly.
If you’re out in the field, your instincts are crucial. Safety is the utmost importance, so listen to what your gut is telling you.
