I’m OCD and am fanatical about germs. I bring my own cleaner when I stay at hotel rooms, I’m a stickler for covering your sneeze, cough, and yawn.
Think Like A Journalist Excerpt
Introverts tend to have fewer, but deeper relationships with their customers. They really want to get to know the customer and help them over time. They aren’t looking for a single sale to get a bonus; they’re building a list of clients they can service for years, which creates a constant stream of referrals and repeat business. Excerpt from a post in LifeHack.
