Message From The Author
It appears to many that extroverts enjoy networking more than introverts. They are outgoing, charismatic and appear to make conversations easily. But are extroverts really better at networking than introverts?
Networking is more than collecting as many name cards as possible, prospecting people or talking to everyone in the room. Networking is about building relationships. Generally, introverts are good in listening and developing deeper relationships. By knowing how to ask the right questions, they have meaningful conversations.
By leveraging on their strengths, introverts can be just as good as any extrovert
