Selling For Introverts
In this episode we meet Alen Mayer, aka Chief Sales Introvert, an author, sales coach, sales consultant and mentor who disagrees with the idea that some people are just born to sales. Alen believes that anyone can be an amazing sales professional, even introverts, but only if they stay true to themselves.
In this episode Alen and I have a lively discussion about the unique skills that introverts bring to sales. If you are an introverts and think there are limits to what you can do, or if you are an extrovert and think that all prospective clients like cheerful chatty handshaking, both sets of people will learn a thing or two today.
It was interesting that at least a 1/3 or more of the population is introverts, and a large portion of the CEOs are too!
