Sales Stretegies for Introverts (and extroverts that don't like to sell)



On Wednesday, October 14th, 2009, I had the extreme pleasure of interviewing America's #1 Sales Coach for Introverts (and Extroverts who don't like to sell), Patricia Weber, and it was an eye-opening experience.

I first met Pat on a BlitzTime event a few months ago and I've been trying to get her to do a podcast for a good while now. Well, when you're good you're good and she IS good and very hard to catch.

Here are some of the things that jumped out at me during the interview:
  • People do not know how to network

  • Networking can be fun, it depends on the kind of group you join. For instance, Pat does a lot of networking with her exotic car pals

  • Social media is NOT a replacement for face-to-face networking - especially in you're a network marketer or a personal services provider (e.g., chiropractor, bookkeeper, etc.)

  • Use LinkedIn to display your work history and to develop professional credibility; use Twitter share information; use Facebook to let people take a peek into your personal world; and use BlitzTime to "put the rubber on the road
With the tough times that our economy is going through, Pat mentioned that it is so important for people to learn how to market, sell, and how to network. She really broke-down what the difference between marketing and selling is, and how to do them both effectively.

This was probably one of the best interviews that I've had on the show to date, so make sure that you give it a listen. Just click on the player below to listen to the interview.
