Go for No!!

Dont worry about what people say and they dont want to buy into your service. There are tons of people who are waiting for you to offer your service to them. They are waiting!

Its like the example of you being a person who serves coffee at a restaurant:

You go up to the first table and they say they dont want coffee..Then you go to the second table and they also dont want any coffee. Its like saying the first two tables said, "No". Im going to quit this job. All you had to do is go to the third table that was waiting for you to come by and pour them coffee.

Dont give up! Keep going...

    I have to say that is a very simple example, but it is a very good one. Never quit..if you do you can never know how successful you could have been.

    In the old days of door to door selling we used to count the doors
    so if you made a sale and earned $1000 you divided this by the number of doors you needed to knock to get a result So if it took 50 door knocks to get a sale then you earned $20 for every door you knocked on .
    So the more doors you knock the more you earn !

      Exactly! Statistics is something that helps me stay optimistic. Slammed door simply means another step closer to a sale.

      I especially liked how your 50 doors/sale was a result of your experience. I have learned from own experience that market research saves a lot of time. Once you learn about the market, find out what people want, where/how they look for it, what works and what doesn't then you simply keep doing what you are supposed to because you know that sales will eventually come.

      Me too, In direct sales i always train people to count no's, if they count yesses they will get discouraged if it takes a while to get their first sale, but if you can get them to stick with it sales are a mathmatical certainty (assuming the salesman has at least some degree of skill), I love when people come out of their house and yell at me, it means i'm doing my job

    Nice post! I'd like to add something here,

    A Lesson Learned From Soccer

    If you've ever seen a Soccer stadium, the craze for it, the sheer amount of excitement that surrounds, a layman would easily conclude that everyone likes soccer.

    But there are quite a lot, who

    1> Don't even know the rules 'cause they don't care
    2> Hate the game
    3> Somewhat like it but not too crazy about it

    And frankly, I fall in one of the above category (guess what?). But the stadium/game still does the good job of attracting those select "many". What this means is that create stuff you know at least 10 people are crazy about, even if 100s hate it.

    No's should be your fuel to success. The most successful people on the planet are the ones who got the most refusals!
    The key is not to break when you get the NO and continue on till the YES just keep raining on you

    No is only a temporary defeat (if you want to call it that)...so you are right, keep pressing on!
