Turn weaknesses into strengths to become successful introverts.

There are many executives in the organization who like subordinates who are good at speaking and presenting, these people tend to grow quickly in the organization because the elders like ordinary people who are good at speaking, present, and are often considered to be good people and successful people. Being famous has become one of the values in society that one must have an "extrovert" personality and habits, which is to be good at speaking, good at present, constantly going out to social events, talking to a lot of people, and knowing a lot of people in order to succeed in both work and business. Do things you don't want to do, such as learning to speak well, learn to promote yourself, force yourself to socialize because you will be labeled as an "introvert", "highly private", "lacking confidence", and are seen as unsuccessful and not good at it.

  • Have a deep focus and understanding of something.

  • They have a higher ability to listen and understand than extroverts because they listen more than they speak.

  • I like to write more than speak (who is the same, the mobile pro has 600 minutes a month, but it takes ten minutes. The main communication is the line and whatever is written).

  • Even though I'm not good at networking, I know who to talk to. How to approach to get what you want?

  • Have high research skills. Make a report Research This is especially good.

  • Be calm and calm in difficult situations.

  • I don't have many friends, but I am deeply close.

Finding Your Voice for Introverts and Extroverts

Before starting to train the skills necessary for introverts to succeed in business, it is to start thinking about these important things, finding value or what we value, Purpose (the purpose of doing it, why we will do it, what we are doing it for), Goal (the goal to be achieved) and Vision (vision of what we are doing).

The key skills to help increase your chances of success are:

  • Must be good at networking.

  • Self-promotion

  • Good collaboration

  • These 3 skills are important skills that are necessary and introverts are not very good at these skills, but they are inevitable. If you want to be successful, the question is, how to manage and develop these 3 skills?

  • Energy Management

  • Role Management and

  • Activity Planning (Planning for activities) We will go one by one.

Self-Promotion

It is very important to Let the world know what we do. Why did you do this, and what are your goals? Before people subsidize our products and services. Invest in the company or ourselves. People must trust and trust. And they will know our products and services from us promoting and talking about them, but introverts are often shy to say and promote something about themselves. The most important tool is the use of social media. Whether it's a website, a blog that writes statuses on Facebook, practice writing well, learn to tell a variety of stories to be used as an important weapon in doing business.

Networking

Going to networking events is boring and scary for many introverts (including myself) because of our nature. You have to force yourself to do something that introverts don't want to do, such as smiling and saying hello to strangers. Being the focus of attention and if you have to go to an event where you don't know anyone. We will be very awkward. Interesting technique for introverts when they have to attend networking events. such as

  • Set a time to relax and relax before the event starts, during the event, and after the event to recharge your energy from meeting people.

  • Plan in advance, what to say to whom, and how to say it. If you meet a friend, if you meet an acquaintance. People we don't know but they know us, and strangers.

  • Think about the various scenarios that will be encountered in the event, how to say in each situation.

  • Expressing doubts and listening attentively to the interlocutor. Observe things in the event so that they can be used as conversations.

  • What often happens at events is that introverts feel uncomfortable and tend to be haunted in a certain corner of the venue. What needs to be done is: Setting small goals to meet each person. For example, introducing ourselves and listening to who they are, and that's it, we will have a goal to discuss.

For those who want to continue the relationship, they may exchange business cards and send them an email saying that they have an idea or interesting story that they just thought of after discussing it at the event, or they will send an interesting article that they think is useful and related to their work.

Energy Management

Whether it's marketing or finding business partners. It takes socializing, meeting, meeting people, and self-promotion skills that are quite energizing for introverts, so we need to plan the day well to restore energy and recharge the battery from energy-sucking activities because introverts will lose their energy if they have to meet a lot of people but regain their energy. When you can be quiet and alone with yourself for a while, when you are about to lose your energy. Finding time to recharge will help you get your energy back up by walking to make coffee, sitting still for a while, or going for a walk outside the office for 10-15 minutes. For other activities.

Summary

Although successful people must be good at speaking, good at presenting, and good at socializing, which are the characteristics of an extrovert, introverts can excel in these skills by practicing and using different specific techniques. In order to achieve the same goal, we can be successful introverts in work and in business.
