Sanguine individuals are often characterized by their cheerful, optimistic, and outgoing nature.

They tend to be energetic, enthusiastic, and sociable.

This temperament is associated with the spring season and the air element.

Air is ever-changing and invisible, yet essential for life and movement. It embodies freedom and a volatile will.

Air also symbolizes communication and the breath of life.

If you want to help sanguines...

function best
arrow

They function best when they are happy and content.

You should strive to create a warm and friendly atmosphere around them.

Smile a lot, have fun, and laugh.

Listen to their crazy jokes, laugh along at all their childish remarks, and kindle the happy atmosphere.

get to work
arrow

Push them, but push gently.

Be kind but clear.

Sanguines hate feeling controlled.

Softly and gently explain the value of actually doing the job itself.

do business with you
arrow

You need to show them that you are just as open and friendly as they are.

Allow them to be devoted to the latest thing.

Use expressions like "state-of-the-art", newly developed", and "never before used".

Equip yourself with lots of energy.

listen to you
arrow

Sanguines aren't good listeners.

You must persuade them to answer your question very concretely and have them say, "Yes, I will be there at three just as I promised" or, "Of course, I'll inform the customer exactly as we've agreed".

keep their attention
arrow

Strip away as much as possible the minutia as you possibly can.

They don't care about how things work, only that they work.

make a decision
arrow

Set the Excel spreadsheets aside, lean forward, and say with a big smile, "How does this feel?"

You can connect with them by demonstrating that you also trust your instincts.

get more organized
arrow

Create a structure for them.

Help out by creating a simple list.

Sanguines are the ones who are most in need of structure in the form of diagrams and checklists.
