Promoters are active, easygoing, and spontaneous, they enjoy the present moment rather than planning for the future. Extremely realistic, they are curious and keen observers. They tend to be open-minded and tolerant of others and themselves, because they accept things as they are. Promoters prefer action to conversation. They can absorb necessary factual information and then find logical and sensible solutions quickly, without a lot of wasted effort or energy, which makes them good problem solvers. They can be diplomatic negotiators, happy to try unconventional approaches and they are usually able to persuade other people to give their decisions based upon what is logical, instead of how they feel about things. 

Promoters are friendly and charming, so they are at ease in most social situations. They are versatile and funny, and usually have an endless amount of stories and jokes for any situation. They can be good at easing tense situations by lightening up the atmosphere and getting conflicting parties together.

Possible Downside

Promoters prefer living in the moment and adopting an 'emergency' style of responding to unexpected crises, this can result in a chaotic environment for those around them. Sometimes they miss opportunities through lack of planning. They can take on too much at one time and find themselves overloaded and unable to keep their commitments. They need to look beyond the current moment and their interest in the material world to try and anticipate ways of completing tasks on time.

Promoters would do well not to overlook other peoples feelings. They tend to be blunt and insensitive in their desire to be honest, especially when they are rushing from one experience to another. They are more effective when they rein in their boldness, energy, and love of a good time to a level where other people are more comfortable.
