Do you feel like marketing yourself is one of the hardest parts about being an entrepreneur? A common concern introverts have is that they feel they are too shy, quiet or reserved to make sales. However, there is an easy way to make sales feel easier and that’s by using a human-first approach. Putting it simply, you’ll be focusing on using one of your introvert superpowers – listening – to make a greater connection with your potential clients. There’s been a marketing shift over the last few years, and people can tell when you feel uncomfortable cold pitching or don’t truly believe in the product or service you’re selling.
