In class this past week we discussed the role that having levels of extraversion and introversion have on sales. While extraverts may seem to have the advantage at first glance, it was later determined that those who are “ambiverts” have the real advantage. Being an ambivert combines elements of both extraversion and introversion, and balances the two in a way that allows them to be the best movers in sales.
In doing some more research on ambiversion and sales, I found an article discussing the competitive advantages that ambiverts have. They are listed below, saying ambiverts are:
- More productive
- Flexible as introverts/extroverts
- Not exhausted by tense situations
- More influential
- More intuitive
- Wise when taking risks
- Can become successful entrepreneurs on their own
Much of these advantages we discussed in class and are important to note. For instance, being more intuitive as an ambivert helps them decide when to speak up or when to stay quiet in a conversation. Having most or all of these qualities will definitely assist you in sales, however I think it’s important to recognize that just because you may not have all these characteristics doesn’t mean you aren’t capable of selling. What we choose to do with the traits we’ve been given is half the battle, but having just a few of those listed can make a huge difference in being successful.

Great article Joey! Love how you added the 7 advantages or even “elements” ambiverts have in sales.
This is a really good article continuing our discussion in class. The seven additional things about ambiverts were very fascinating.
