When we get caught in someone else’s drama it usually feeds the energy and lowers your own vibration. That person wants to pull you into their angst because sharing that energy dissipates it for them. Meanwhile, you lose your own peace. When that happens it’s hard to keep your focus on business. 

• When a prospect or customer is angry with you deal with it quickly and end the drama.
• Remember that it’s your job to keep your focus on business, so don’t dwell on the situation.
• Rather than avoiding the conflict act to solve it quickly.
