Anyone who works in a sales position or runs a business has probably experienced this. When you have plenty of business, and things are going great, you naturally attract people to you. All your activity stirs up even more activity. You're more confident, and people can definitely sense that.
Nothing succeeds like success.
Many people operate from the perspective of need. They try to use their own need as a way to convince people to do business with them. That is a recipe for failure. No one wants to buy from someone who is desperate. Don't ask or expect people to take pity on you.
