Steps

  1. Don't Fight Your NatureConstantly forcing yourself to mingle, chit-chat and cold-call will take its toll. Doing things that you hate on a regular basis is a surefire recipe for burnout. All that stress can take years off your life! Don?t try to be someone you are not. Instead, try to develop the business model that fits the real you.
  2. Focus On Your StrengthsIntroverts typically have great analytical, problem-solving and listening skills. Also, many introverts excel in writing. What are your strengths? How can you utilize them in your business?
  3. Find The Right BusinessJumping from one business opportunity to another and quitting everything you start - does it sound familiar? People fall into this trap because they get excited about the profit potential but fail in doing the work involved. When evaluating potential businesses, ask yourself - will you really be able to do the work involved in the business? If not, can you hire someone else who?ll do it for you?
  4. Outsource Direct SellingYou can hire other people to do the selling. Even if you are on a budget, you can still get "commissions-only" sales people who get paid a percentage of sales, which means no upfront cost to you.
  5. Use Online NetworkingThe Internet allows people to find the right business contacts and skip the usual schmoozing. You can network with people through discussion forums, social networking websites or simply by sending an e-mail to introduce yourself. Using the electronic contact is easy, efficient and not intimidating.
  6. Market On The InternetEven people who hate selling can succeed in Internet marketing. Your website does all the selling so you don?t have to. Orders are placed on the website without your intervention, and customer service is done via e-mail. The Internet is truly an introvert's dream!
