One of the biggest myths that plagues the business world today is that our ability to network depends on having the "gift-of-gab." You don't have to be outgoing to be successful at networking. You don't have to become a relentless self-promoter. In fact, you don't have to act like an extrovert at all.
The truth is that when introverts are armed with a plan that lets them be their authentic selves, they make the best networkers.
Matthew Pollard, an introvert himself, draws on over a decade of research and real-world examples to provide an actionable blueprint for introverted networking. A sequel to Pollard's international bestseller The Introvert's Edge: How the Quiet and Shy Can Outsell Anyone, this book masterfully confronts the stigma around the so-called extroverted arena of networking.
In The Introvert's Edge to Networking, you'll discover how to:
- Overcome your fear and discomfort when networking
- Turn networking into a repeatable system
- Leverage your innate introverted strengths
- Target and connect with top influencers
- Leverage the power of virtual and social networking
The introvert's roadmap to success doesn't look like the extroverts, we're different and we should embrace that.
Whether you're a small business owner struggling to make a living or a professional who's hit a career plateau, The Introvert's Edge to Networking is your path to a higher income and a rolodex of powerful connections.
