It is a common misconception that those who are extraverts are “better” at sales than those who are introverts. This is not necessarily true, as everyone operates differently and each personality type has its pros and cons. Extraverted people at a first glace have an advantage, being more outgoing and typically better with meeting new people. While it is true that extraverted people are certainly more outgoing, that doesn’t automatically make them better salespeople than others. Being outgoing can be both a blessing and a curse because outgoing can quickly evolve into overbearing and hyperactive. This can lead to the client to feel uncomfortable and even offended, putting the sale in jeopardy. On the contrary, introverted people have advantages and disadvantages as well. While not being as open to introducing themselves to strangers and being more timid typically, they have the advantage of being reserved. Like extraverts, this trait can be taken too far and ward off a prospect by seeming uninterested or someone who does not know what they’re talking about. Although each personality type has its strengths and weaknesses, each type has the potential to be just as good of a salesperson as the other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
