In fact, it has been proven that if you are an extrovert you are a good sales rep just not the best one. The best sales representatives out there are call Ambiverts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is an ambivert? The dictionary definition of an ambivert would be a person whose personality has a balance of extrovert and introvert features. In other words, the goldilocks of personalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does this mean for Introverts and Extroverts? As an extrovert, I was immediately saddened to have learned that it was my eagerness that scared people away, in turn creating a weakness for me. But knowing that I am extroverted allows me to practice harnessing my talkative qualities and sharpen my listening ears. I need to learn to shut up and listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t have any particular advice for introverts other than I do make a lot of friends with them and my best friend is very introverted. (Which is probably why we make a good pair). Perhaps challenge yourself to initiate the conversation or speak your thoughts (of course in the correct places, this is an extrovert struggle) to the client\/ customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do not know where you stand on the personality test here is a website for a quick test.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myersbriggs.org\/\">https:\/\/www.myersbriggs.org\/<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the Sales of a Start-Up Class, we recently learned that there truly was no reason or proof that extroverts made the best sales reps.
