Thanks for sharing this. I am an extroverted-introvert. I found my way to mastering networking, which I just shared on my channel with the hope anyone sees and field better.

I can relate. I was on the extreme end of introversion. Put myself out there and I have improved a lot as matter of fact new people didn’t believe that I was introverted or used to be shy. However, it is very tiresome. Now I try to keep a balance.

I met David at the last Dreamforce (2019) and he's a great guy. He even gave me a free SFDC 99 t-shirt before his talk

I am also an introvert David but still I managed to grow my LinkedIn network from 100 connections when I completed my post graduation to 755 connections today. Glad to have you as my connection David. Trailblazer Community has given me much.

Your advices are great. I was about to drop in depression until I redid my resume.

I'M IMPRESSED ABOUT MYSELF!

You do come across as a likeable individual Mr Liu. Americans to us often come across as insincere and phony especially when covering topics like what could be loosely described as "personal growth' with their annoying buzz words and grating 'Mericanism's. You talk to us ( not at us) and thats very refreshing and with an empathy that is often overlooked in your culture. Im currently in the situation like many over needing to redefine or maybe describe as reinventing myself . I like your calm genuine advice and sincere concern you have for others who may be struggling atm. Rgds from Syd Oz

Oh my gosh! How can you say you're "boring"? I absolutely love your videos. You're so engaging and excited about whatever topic you're speaking about. Plus you happily provide a mountain of knowledge to us newbies. Keep up the excellent work.

4:45 I'm so glad you said "a whole other" instead of "a whole NOTHER". Hate it when someone mispronounces this. Plus, this means you know some things.

I'm an introvert and Solo admin for the company I work.. I rarely speak to people and get to meet someone.. but when I do .. it's awkward..

[juliemilner]

Great advice. As an introvert, it is incredibly difficult to network the traditional way.

[dalinwang]

Thank you David, very insightful content!

[JackieKen]

Are you speaking to me directly lol? I'm a recovering introvert learning to overcome this by attending events and speaking to more people. I think it's working for me!!!

[SauceyNoodle]

"future employers can read your post history and see that you really are a special talent"

I knew all that reddit karma would be useful one day

[yasmin]

Thank you so much David for this advice. In current pandemic situation it is a bit tough to network in person and this is absolutely an opportunity for introvert person like me. :D

Hey David! Just sent my resume to Salesforce, hoping for some good news! That would be one of the biggest steps I´ve ever done :D

[HMAWilcox]

Cool to hear. Can you share any of those example websites? Which ones & why you'd recommend that we could use for Salesforce networking?

Yep basically me, awkward in person, but can sit comfortably in front of a camera. Still awkward though... 🤔

Could you please re-shoot the video without making eye contact with the camera.
