1 Identify your strengths and weaknesses

Introverts have some qualities that can make them effective cold callers, such as listening, empathy, and preparation. However, they may also struggle with some aspects of cold calling, such as initiating conversations, handling rejection, or staying motivated. To improve your cold calling skills, you need to identify your strengths and weaknesses and focus on developing the areas that need improvement. You can use self-assessment tools, feedback from customers or colleagues, or your own performance data to evaluate your strengths and weaknesses.

One of the biggest areas I've seen help introverts improve their cold calling is in call preparation. There are 4 main areas that objections always revolve around so if you know how you'll respond to these areas you'll be able to get past the nerves with ease: 1. not interested 2. send me information 3. were using someone else 4. not the right time

As an introvert I find this article a bit disturbing. Whose to say all Introverts need help with their cold calling skills. In addition, whose to say Extroverts have all the answers? Both sides can possess great qualities to share with each other. Extroverts may find it easier to speak up but Introverts can bring quality responses. This should be the angle; create a group/partnership setting for both parties to learn. Just my thoughts.

Your strength is that you’re an introvert. Lean into that strength and recognize just how powerful it is. Sales will elevate your existence, whether you stay or just visit for a season. Your unique personality is what will reinforce the success you find while you’re in it.

I would have to agree with @Adam Cohn here. I like to relate this to chess (and not because many chess players are introverted). In chess you have to memorize several openings if you're going to be competitive. Same with the cold call, you need to memorize your openings. If you have an answer already prepared for the objection that's coming at you, you'll get further into call. The more more calls you make, the more openings you learn. I consider the middle game your pitch, qualifying, and story telling. And the call to action being the endgame. Now excuse me, I need to make some dials.

2 Find a role model or mentor

One of the best ways to learn and improve your cold calling skills is to find a role model or mentor who can guide you, inspire you, and support you. A role model or mentor can be someone who is an extrovert, someone who has more experience or success in cold calling, or someone who has a similar personality or background as you. You can observe how they approach cold calling, ask them for advice or feedback, or practice with them. A role model or mentor can help you overcome your fears, boost your confidence, and teach you new techniques or strategies.

When looking for a mentor, don't pursue the flashiest or most popular. Look for the person who is a great teacher and has been consistent in their career. If a person gives you advice, use it, then report back on how it went. This shows you're coachable, and make you a more attractive mentee. If you cannot find one in person, find one on social media or youtube and model your skills after theirs.

3 Collaborate with a partner or team

Another way to improve your cold calling skills is to collaborate with a partner or team who can complement your strengths and weaknesses, provide you with encouragement and accountability, and create a positive and fun atmosphere. A partner or team can be someone who is an extrovert, someone who has a different skill set or perspective, or someone who has a similar goal or challenge as you. You can work together to plan, execute, and review your cold calls, share your successes and failures, and celebrate your achievements.

As an introvert, I keep to myself. Collaborating with a team or an individual could be difficult for an introvert. I have found great success attending networking events where my ideal customer will also be in attendance. This can be accomplished in person or online. Be prepared with your unique value proposition (30-60 seconds of what's in it for the customer) and a business card or call to action. The event is your collaborating team. Be sure to read the room, be sociable, and listen twice as much as you talk. Each interaction gets you past the cold call stage with that individual. All the best, Lisa Colavito

4 Learn from your mistakes and successes

Cold calling is a learning process that requires trial and error, feedback, and adaptation. As an introvert, you may tend to be self-critical or dwell on your mistakes, but you can also use them as opportunities to learn and grow. Similarly, you can also learn from your successes and replicate what works for you. To learn from your mistakes and successes, you need to track and measure your cold calling activities and outcomes, analyze what went well and what went wrong, and implement changes or improvements based on your findings.

5 Balance your energy and time

Cold calling can be exhausting and stressful for introverts, who need time and space to recharge and reflect. Therefore, it is important to balance your energy and time and avoid burnout or frustration. You can balance your energy and time by setting realistic and achievable goals, scheduling breaks and downtime, prioritizing quality over quantity, and finding ways to relax and reward yourself. You can also balance your energy and time by diversifying your tasks and activities, such as mixing cold calling with other forms of communication, research, or follow-up.

Ok. Goals, schedules, quality, quantity, cold calling, research…that’s great, we all know this. However, what’s most important and can never be overlooked is exercise and maintaining a healthy diet. Managing the stresses and being able to capitalize on them is going to require an optimized state of mind in order to excel. Realize that in order to be successful at this you have to find appreciation for who you are talking to, that will come when the appreciation is found within yourself. Communication becomes natural and vibrant when it’s coming from a good place. It starts within; an active lifestyle with exercise will maintain physical and mental health. That breeds happiness and success. Get ‘em’!!!

6 Be yourself and have fun

Finally, the most important tip for introverts to improve their cold calling skills is to be yourself and have fun. You don't have to pretend to be someone you are not, or copy someone else's style or personality. You can be authentic and genuine, and use your own voice and values to connect with your prospects. You can also have fun and enjoy the process, and not take yourself or the results too seriously. You can find humor, curiosity, and gratitude in cold calling, and make it a rewarding and fulfilling experience.

I’ve tried to add my personality to sales emails by using emojis more often than most. Not obnoxiously, but enough for them to be a little different. ?? This style might not be for everyone, but communicating with customers & prospects like this let’s me have fun with the process and also show my humanity. Do you use emojis in your prospecting emails? ??♂? (see what I did there)

I feel in sales there is nothing that makes you introverted or extroverted it is a comfort level and industry that demands the level of engagement needed to build relationships. Some industries need introverted employees to relate to their clients and others may need someone more involved, with that it depends on industry, company, culture, and the reason you are the sales person for them.
