Hi,

While working in office, some time my gut feeling says me to keep away from some body. If I get close to them, then I feel I am put down. I follow my instincts to choose friends in my office. Somebody will get close to me so naturally and somebody will get against me so naturally. I follow my instincts to have a balanced approach. Even during interviews, I follow my gut feeling to choose a company. which is always land me in perfect position. Instinct is a communication beyond verbal

Life’s too short to work with jerks! Examine your client base. Who are the clients that you love working with? What clients inspire you to pull out all the stops and deliver something really great? Once you can clearly define your ideal client, market to them! How many great clients would you need to double your income?

My gut tells me, for a while, to have a professional and experienced marketing person. We are pretty good at it even today, but we are only catering to a set of customer, which is good since its a repeat client, but not having the share of bigger pie… I know that my instinct is right; now waiting for it to tell me where to find the person ;)

(Also, I have a client who’s been difficult and very demanding, my gut tells me not to work with his company, but I am still continuing… hope is a cruel thing, I suppose, but who to listen gut or hope?)

Thanks for the article, it was good!

My instincts are telling me to specialize, and offer an unique design service to “design-challenged” web developers and web development companies, rather than trying to provide all kinds of design services.

Quite opposite than pdxi :)

I’ve been doing business with mostly the same clients for over a year. My gut instinct is telling me to broaden my client pool, but another gut instinct is telling me that I need to diversify my offerings and learn how to appeal to an entirely new and different group of prospects.

I’m not sure how I will do this, but I’m waiting for another gut instinct to come my way.

True story! :)

I needed to read this. Today, after a week of hesitation, I dumped a lot of money (all my server-related profit in fact) into hiring a professional team to take care of our servers. Trying to balance development work with server management was keeping me up 40 hours at a time and, because of that already-taxing commitment, marketing more servers was the last thing on my mind. Couldn’t ignore that gut feeling that this was the right thing to do though. Now with a renewed desire to sell more servers (used to dread the workload), I’m confident this move will pay for itself in a few short months. Thanks.
