Self-Marketing Rules For Successful Introverts

Introverts may excel at promoting others but not themselves. In a world that seems to reward horn-tooters, an introvert explains how she's used her natural tendencies to gain visibility. Check out this article from the Wall Street Career Journal

A few tips from the article...

  • You don't need to brag to promote yourself.

  • Enlist event organizers to introduce you, especially to the speaker, who may be an important contact for you.

  • Use visualization techniques to avoid being overwhelmed by large group events.

  • You don't have to respond quickly. If you're asked questions that feel invasive or demand an immediate response, simply say that you need time to think about them and will follow up with answers.

  • Don't apologize for what you don't know.

  • Keep track of details. At the end of a social event, find a private place to make notes on the backs of business cards of people you've met.

  • Stay in touch with existing contacts. For introverts, this is easier than making new contacts.

  • Take advantage of your writing skills.

  • Use the telephone. In general, introverts like to be well-prepared, rather than speaking extemporaneously.

That is a great article! Tips helped me out! appreciate it
