Leaving Corporate America but Hate Sales? How to Identify Your Strengths, Use Your Corporate Experience, and Sell in a Way That Fits You

Have you ever stayed in a job you’ve outgrown because you’re sure you’d be terrible at selling your own work?

I hear “I could never run a business because I hate sales and marketing” all the time. Jen Thompson had zero sales or marketing experience, and she matched, then passed, her corporate income.

For you, it might start with thinking about leaving corporate america and end with wondering whether introverts in sales ever do well. If any of that fits, this episode is for you.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• How sales for introverts works when networking events make you want to stay home
• How to identify your strengths with the questions I walk every client through
• Why a business for introverts needs a different business model than a networker’s
• Why so many women running six- and seven-figure businesses never post about it

You’ve probably decided selling is the reason you can’t leave. Staying means more years doing the work of three people without the credit, and selling is a skill you can learn.

Here’s to selling in a way that sounds like you.
