Introverts Unite....Separately

If you are someone that would rather take classes or seminars instead of going to social and networking events, you are not alone. You probably also want to be more out there and connect with other people, at least for the sake of your business. For extroverted people, this comes easily and the challenges they face is that they can overburden people that they would like to get to know better. For introverts, social media and communication services and face to face interaction can be daunting. Fortunately, being good at communicating and connecting with people, potential clients, or business partners is a learned skill. There are ways to get past the chitchat and get some real insight into what a person is like. Here is a list of questions you could ask:

What do you do for fun?
What are you most passionate about?
What's your favorite cause or charity?
What's your guilty pleasure? (And why?)
What in your life makes you the most proud?
What's on your bucket list?
In case I can refer business to you, who is your perfect client or partner?

Good luck networking!
