Does picking up the phone to talk to a client make you nervous?

Are your days spent in the company of a toddler – leaving you a little unsure about pop culture (unless it’s on Disney Jr.)?

Do you have a hard time getting comfortable with new people?

Is creating a conversation out of thin air hard for you?

 And does that mean you’re an introvert?  … Are you sure??? 

Extraversion is “the act, state, or habit of being predominantly concerned with and obtaining gratification from what is outside the self.”  Extraverts tend to enjoy human interactions and to be enthusiastic, talkative, assertive and gregarious.  Introversion is “the state of or tendency toward being wholly or predominantly concerned with and interested in one’s own mental life.”^[4]

Some popular writers have characterized introverts as people whose energy tends to expand through reflection and dwindle during interaction.^[5]  So basically, an extrovert is energized by being around other people, where as an introvert is energized by being alone.

This may surprise you, but I am an introvert.  Yep – every quiz confirms it. (There’s one below for you to try yourself.)  So… I’d like to think that introverts absolutely can be successful… and we have some pretty sweet traits that help us out!

What are those traits?  Well, introverts work really well alone.  We don’t need others to do our best thinking, so our productivity is higher.  Also, introverts prefer meaningful conversation to trivial chatter – this makes us much better listeners, and that’s a great thing when it comes to finding out what our clients want and need.

In today’s episode, I’m outlining how you can feel more confident as you interact with new clients…

So… do you know where you fall?  Take this quiz and share your results in the comments below!
