Summary

In this podcast episode, Joe Sanok speaks with Juan Santos about being an introvert, marketing strategies you can implement even if you’re not comfortable in big crowds of people and some mistakes he made.

Being an Introvert

You’re the type of person where you need to pull away from the world in order to regenerate yourself.

Juan finds himself in the middle of being an introvert and extrovert. When he understood this about himself he found it helpful to find this connection and realized that he can’t always be the person to throw a thousand business cards in the air. He tried to find strategies that connected to his introvert side.

As an introvert, you connect to writing, to being problem solvers, to researching. You’re looking at your clinical practice and saying how can I market myself without pulling to that extrovert side. If you engage in practices that connect much more to that extrovert side, you’re going to drain yourself.

Marketing Strategies for Introverts

Utilize a blog instead of going to public events and speaking in front of people.
If you don’t want to do the elevator speech every time you go to a conference, you could instead, create a little video that speaks about who you are, your specialty and niche. This is a one time template that can be used over and over that can be sent to your referrals etc
When attending a conference go with the mindset that you want to build one or two genuine relationships. Make a genuine connection.

Challenge Yourself

Acknowledge what you want to do and see how you can break that down into what’s comfortable for you.

As an introvert:

If you want to speak in front of people, connect with a group of analysts so that you’re not there by yourself.
Do webinars or podcasts

As an extrovert:

Wind down, focus on researching and problem-solving

Realizations

I wanted something a little bit too fast, I was too ambitious, I needed to slow down, look at the actual steps that I needed to take.

Market yourself in a way that is genuine to you
Do it when you have energy, desire, and interest
Be mindful of how you interact with a marketing approach
When you go to events, try to take time to figure out what you need to do allow you to be comfortable there
Utilize your core skills
Keep track of your energy meter
