How does a shy, socially awkward introvert become a great salesperson for her business?
Balls. Lots of balls.
Pool balls to be precise. And a good cue stick, of course.
Let’s go back in time a bit. A short trip back to when I joined the ranks of winning pool players.
As a new player, I was improving… very slowly… slower than a turtle running a race in peanut butter…
Then I was matched against a top-ranked player.
The Big Kahuna.
The Superstar.
The National Champion.
The one who makes strong players' knees quiver and hearts pound.
Ignorance is bliss. I didn't know any of this.
I was told he was too cocky for his own good. It was up to me to knock him down a notch.
So, I did.
This was the moment I went from a hesitant beginner to a confident winner.
Something similar happened when I needed to become a great salesperson for my business. I stepped up at the critical moment when I needed to connect with people and talk about my business.
I used social media to create warm leads, land clients, get referrals, and then used email to sell my products.
After a lot of course corrections along the way – I started my own business to leverage my marketing, business, technical, research, and writing skills.
Today I am a Copywriter specializing in Email and offer Email Marketing Consulting.
I also show business professionals how to use social media to identify and connect with their ideal prospect so they can move them to a sales conversation.
