Unleash the Power of Introverts
Introverts bring unique strengths to sales teams, challenging traditional stereotypes. With the right system in place, introverts can excel in sales by leveraging their structured approach and deep knowledge. Embracing introverted traits can lead to long-term success in sales, creating a more diverse and effective team dynamic.

This is Matthew Pollard's story:

Matthew Pollard's sales journey began unexpectedly after losing his job right before Christmas, thrusting him into the world of sales as an introverted individual. Despite initially feeling overwhelmed by the thought of sales, he persevered, teaching himself through online resources and quickly rising to become the top salesperson in his company. As he continued to excel and take on leadership roles, his focus shifted towards empowering introverted sales professionals, challenging the belief that introverts are at a disadvantage in sales. His introduction to Mario Martinez Jr.'s brand occurred at the AI SP leadership summit, sparking thought-provoking conversations about introversion, extroversion, and the unique strengths introverts bring to the sales arena. This encounter laid the groundwork for a deeper exploration of sales and leadership, leading to the creation of Matthew's book, "The Introvert's Edge to Selling," and his unwavering commitment to reshaping the narrative around introverted success in sales.

Networking is not about you. The number one rule in sales is not about you. The number one rule of being on a podcast or speaking from stage, it's not about you. So why does everyone make it about themselves? - Matthew Pollard
