Turn Rejection into Energy



When I started my sales career I experienced some form of rejection on nearly a daily basis.  Most sales people fail become they LET rejection get the best of them.  Instead of pushing forward when they face rejection they recoil; they let off the gas or even quit.  This doesn’t just apply to sales people, but to every single person who is running toward a goal or dream.

I remember on time in particular that I was getting nowhere FAST.  I went from business to business trying to find someone who would listen to me and hear about what I had to offer.  That day I was tired but I kept pushing from business to business.  Finally I said to myself, “Just one more.”  That “one more” became the biggest blessing in my sales career at that time.  I met a man who owned a business and our businesses complemented each other and we formed a friendship and partnership that accounted for at least 60% of my six-figure income in the years to come!   That “one more” didn’t just make my day; it blessed me for all the years I lived in Cincinnati.

Don’t let rejection be your end; make it your beginning!  Success will yield to the one who will not let rejection deter them from their goals and dreams.  Determine to just do it until you win!
