Selling tips
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009Do you take rejection personally? Maybe a client you’re working with, someone you’ve made your entire presentation to, decides to talk to your competitor and says he’ll call you next week. Not only does he fail to call you, he changes his phone number and firm name. When you get back to him the following week, he’s already bought from the competitor. Or you meet someone who says, “I’m really interested,” and when you arrive a week later for your appointment, they calmly inform you that they’ve been enjoying another brand of your product since the day after your meeting. Has something like this ever happened to you? If it hasn’t yet, keep on plugging—it will.
That’s sales. That’s the business world.
You can’t prevent situations of this kind, but you can train yourself to take them in stride. Successful don’t take rejection personally.
