Neither fitting in nor standing out in the best way — that is both an introvert and the ethos of quiet luxury.
There’s an allure in your understatement. A calming, clutter-free presence.
They must get to know you. Why is that?
1. You engage with people in this manner.
There are 4 stages to a good marketing sales funnel:
- Awareness (“I see someone I haven’t met yet.”)
- Interest (“I want to get to know them.”)
- Decision (“I will introduce myself.”)
- Action (*shakes their hand* “Hi. My name is…”)
Awareness is at the top of the sales funnel for a reason.
Quiet luxury brands approach you gently and thoughtfully.
You connect to others the same way by having tailored conversations with them. Their needs are in focus.
By listening to their likes and pain points with empathy, your connection remains organic without being sales-y. Deep and meaningful conversations make you memorable.
You may whisper and shuffle through the shelves to get in front of someone new, but you get there.
2. People invest in this part of you.
Anything cheap and fast gets discarded quickly: food, connections, quality. It’s often made from and for one person for a short run.
Quality is the willingness to be collaborative.
Because you recognize you can count on others, and they you, people invest in you. They trust that you will add value.
3. Your most powerful trait is implied.
Your lasting impact, your minute detail, is subtle yet memorable. One of Maya Angelou’s famous quotes states, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Most importantly, your assurance in yourself shines from within.
Confidence is implied, listening to understand, not to respond. That is your power.
Like quiet luxury, have you seized the opportunity to upsell your quality?
