Selling products can be hard for introverts. Listen as Tom and Yana discuss why this is and ways to get around it. Making sales takes patience and a willingness to handle the hassles that might come your way. Yana believes that people shouldn't waste her time. Either you want what she is selling, or you don't. On the other side, Tom says that winning the prize is worth the hassle. Yana is an introvert, and Tom is obviously an extrovert, so as you can already see, they don't agree on everything in this episode of The Hole in the Whole.
