Story4.5 out of 5 stars 331
It's comforting to imagine that superstars in their fields were just born better equipped than the rest of us. When a co-worker loses 20 pounds, or a friend runs a marathon while completing a huge project at work, we assume they have more grit, more willpower, more innate talent, and above all, more motivation to see their goals through. But that's not at actually true, as popular Inc.com columnist Jeff Haden proves. "Motivation" as we know it is a myth. Motivation isn't the special sauce that we require at the beginning of any major change.

The key is to lead customers through a series of necessary steps designed to prevent a purchase stall.

Everyone knows that timing is everything. But we don't know much about timing itself.

Timing, it's often assumed, is an art. In When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Pink shows that timing is really a science.

Much of what we hear about who gets to the top, and how, is wrong. Those who become chief executives set their sights on the C-suite at an early age. In fact, over 70 percent of the CEOs didn't have designs on the corner office until later in their careers. You must graduate from an elite college. In fact, only seven percent of CEOs in the dataset are Ivy League graduates - and eight percent didn't graduate from college at all. To become a CEO you need a flawless résumé. The reality: 45 percent of CEO candidates had at least one major career blowup.

A string of best sellers have alerted us to the importance of grit - an ability to persevere and control one's impulses that is closely associated with greatness. But no book yet has charted the most accessible and powerful path to grit: our prosocial emotions. These feelings - gratitude, compassion, and pride - are easier to generate than the willpower and self-denial that underpin traditional approaches to grit. And, while willpower is quickly depleted, prosocial emotions actually become stronger the more we use them.

Publisher's Summary
An introvert? Great at sales? Yes.
Sales is a skill anyone can learn and master - and introverts are especially good at it once they learn how to leverage their natural strengths.
Introverts aren't comfortable with traditional tactics like aggressively pushing a product or talking over a customer's objections. That's the beauty of The Introvert's Edge: it doesn't focus on the sale itself but on a sales system that helps introverts feel sincere instead of sales-y. Powerful and practical, the book reveals how to:
- Find natural confidence
- Prepare for every situation
- Present your value so that customers want to buy
- Sidestep objections
- Judge when the customer's ready to buy
- Ask for the sale - without asking
- Continually adapt and improve
- Profit from a process that doesn't rely on personality
- Enjoy sales
With stories of introverted entrepreneurs, salespeople, and business owners who went from stagnant to success, The Introvert's Edge shows you how to succeed in sales - without changing who you are.

Relates to me perfectly
Just in the first chapter alone Matthew uses the power of story to relate to exactly where I have been with sales as well as where I am currently.
As an introverted musician who has been afraid of sales I can say without a doubt this is one of the most pragmatic books I’ve ever come across in years.
I think it would be in the best interest of any artist or musician to give this book a read or in this case a listen.
I can’t wait to apply the principals Matthew expounds up to my life as well as my future as a working professional in the music education business!

I Am Sold..!
Who would have thought anybody could sell the idea I - confessed introvert - could get to like Sales..? Well, Matthew, Derek and Jamie made this happen.
This is a great guide for startups, blossoming entrepreneurs, and any professional who loves helping others, but has hesitation (or dread) of sales keeping those who need that help away.
Introvert traits that might make us feel a bad fit for selling our service, our skills (like for career promotion) or products are actually what makes us a perfect fit. My favorite takeaway is that Sales is not that snake oil thing. Actually, it is all about helping others. Price is more an afterthought, a deserved compensation for value added.
This book is wholeheartedly recommended. I read through it in one day, and will come back to the concise advice, regularly!

Outstanding!
This book is not only for introverts, though it is expertly written for them. It is a masterful presentation for everyone, of how to sell super successfully, with ethics and integrity, using Matthew's amazing approach. He's known internationally as 'The Rapid Growth Guy' because he has helped transform over 3,500 struggling businesses into success stories. After listening/reading, you will know how he did it and how you can do the same for your business. 5-Stars all the way - fantastic book!

Powerful book for any introvert
I LOVE the stories in this book.
As an introvert who’s run his own business and also been involved with sales for organizations I just wish I could have heard this years ago.
This book created a huge mindset shift for me where I started to see that I could actually outsell my extroverted counterparts - and that feelings of anxiety during public speaking were ok and actually a benefit if I applied the lessons within and learned how to play to my strengths.

Any additional comments?
Matthew gives very clear examples (via stories) to educate the reader on sales ideas for introverts. In preparation for 3 sales calls w/ new potential clients, I listened to portions of The Introvert's Edge. His wisdom on the topic were key reasons I closed ALL 3 new clients. I've already recommended this book to many others.
Introverts: this is a key book for your sales arsenal if you want sales success.

Not a bad book. Just nothing new or groundbreaking.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this to introverts like me. Sales doesn't come easy for me. I love connecting with people, but not many people at one go. So I thought I was joining a profession that is not me. I'm in tech sales.
This book has opened my eyes. I can leverage be a great sales consultant by leveraging on my strengths. I've re-listened to this book multiple times to internalise the concepts.

Proof that frogs can outsell princes
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
The author isn't a professor publishing theories. He's not a corporate desk-jockey who hasn't worn out his shoes on the streets. He was desperate kid who had the grit to keep making belly-to-belly cold calls and experimenting until he learned what makes people buy. He discovered a repeatable process that worked--and transformed from an awkward, desperate kid into a sales champion.
This book reveals his method for making people eager to become your customer--even if you aren't the belle of the ball. It's a method that has proven to work for those of us who haven't been cursed with with movie star looks and A-list connections. Pollard PROVES that sales ability depends on skills and processes--not personality and luck.

Great book for introverts on sales
What did you like most about The Introvert's Edge?
The format of the book, it was very interesting and easy to listen to.It made me realise that being an introvert in the world of sales definitely wasn't a disadvantage, in fact quite the opposite!
What did you like best about this story?
The stories in the book that helped illustrate the power of Matthew's sales techniques.The process is broken down into steps that are easy to follow.
Have you listened to any of Jamie Jackson’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Any additional comments?
The bonuses that come with the book are great too. I am working my way through them at the moment. Matthew has gone above and beyond with the value he has offered in the book, and the support available after!

Stpp undervaluing yourself and grow your business
Absolutely fantastic book - not just for introverts - but for anybody looking to refine their sales techniques and understand their clients needs better. I've learnt so much about how to package up my services and deliver them in a non salesy manner to ensure that I meet my clients needs and provide them value, whilst not undervaluing my own unique skills. One of the most informative books I've read in a very long time. I'll continue reading this book as a reference book for years to come.
