> You need an extravert on staff, or an introvert who can fake it (that can be even better).

Nice, why is that? Because the faker has more control over his behaviour than the genuine, impulsive extrovert?

I just didn't want to imply that introverts can't do the job. I'm very introverted, and when called upon to network and maintain client relationships, I could do it just fine, but saw it as a burden rather than a pleasure. One advantage I guess I had was that I saw it as work, and prepared for with the same level of effort I would have for an important presentation. But I couldn't sustain that for very long without going crazy, so I'm glad we had people who liked doing it as much as I liked programming and design.
