When I approached the salesperson associated with the purchase he dismissed my hunch and instructed me to authorize credit. Finally the customer called me on a Friday afternoon requesting the product right away. He further stated that he was writing the check right now and putting it in the mail. I had no choice but to release the product, even though every cell in my body knew that there was no check and that there never would be. Bill s intuition was right and it took many months of extra effort to receive a portion of the money owed.
Intuition is subjective, by nature.
It is specific to situations. Intuitive knowing arises within a relationship. It cannot be predetermined. This trait, in and of itself, is very useful in business. Meeting and negotiating with potential customers, partners and investors, requires intuition for success.
