Some people are excited by the idea of networking events, cold calling, and dazzling total strangers with their winsome smiles, intriguing conversation, and charming personality.  But for introverts meeting and talking to new people is like watching a horror movie where they are the star! ​

So, what is an entrepreneur or sales professional to do if he or she happens to also be an introvert?

Monica Parkin is a bonafide introvert master marketer. In her new book, Overcoming Awkward, she helps to free introverts from the crippling social constraints that come with launching and growing their businesses and careers.
