Hi Evelyn I like the idea of Rejection Therapy. He's going to find it hard to get much rejection, I think. Most people, I find, are willing to go that extra bit to give you what you ask for. When I want a donut or a piece of pie or w.h.y. I often ask for the biggest piece. Then I watch the girl/guy and see what they do and it is interesting that almost in every case they are looking at the items to find the one that is the biggest or one of my favorites is 'the most chocolate chunks in a cookie'. They even turn over some of the cookies to see which one has the most chocolate chunks :)) The point is it really pays to ask. That Rejection Therapy would be good to use to teach networkers how to deal with rejection. Doing MLM programs is a place where you do get a lot of 'rejection'. I had a hard time with that when I first began networking. If that guy wants a lot of 'no's' he should try asking people to join a network marketing program :)) Most people would sooner have their head lopped off by a terrorist than to recruit one person. I don't bother anymore to try to get them to recruit someone into a program. I find it is much easier to sell a product and just drop a few hints about the possibility of them making some money. Anyway, I'd be interested to see how he does with his rejection therapy. Helen Quote:
I have eaten many kinds of donuts over the years and to me none can compare to a Krispy Kreme and especially if you can get them while they're still hot, so I was intrigued when I saw this story on Yahoo News this morning. Make sure you go watch the two videos, they're not youtube so I could not post them here. Sweet Krispy Kreme worker surprises man on quest for rejection By Dylan Stableford, Yahoo! News | The Sideshow – Mon, Nov 26, 2012 
A man's quest to overcome his fear of rejection by making at least one crazy request a day for 100 days was throttled last week when a Krispy Kreme employee accepted his order for five doughnuts linked together in the colors and shape of the Olympic symbol. "It's only my third day and I have already failed," Jia Jiang wrote on his 100 Days of Rejection Therapy blog. "But I did so with such amazement and happiness." When the 31-year-old approached the register to make his "specialized" doughnut order, Jackie Braun, a shift leader at an Austin, Texas, Krispy Kreme, asked him when he would need it. "In the next 15 minutes," Jiang replied. "I was honestly just hoping for a 'no' and to go home," Jiang told Yahoo News in an interview on Monday. Instead, Braun spent several minutes using the back of some receipt paper to diagram the unusual order. "Let me see what I can do," she said. Fifteen minutes later, she emerged with a Krispy Kreme box with the glazed Olympic ring arrangement inside—and, astonishingly, did not charge Jiang for it. "It wasn't exactly what he wanted," Braun told Yahoo News. "To my eyes, it wasn't perfect, so I didn't think I should charge him for it. It was the best I could do in the time allotted." "Wow, Jackie, I'm a fan," Jiang told her, on behalf of everyone in America. "I was overwhelmed, I couldn't believe it," Jiang said. "I went home and tweeted to Krispy Kreme and blogged about it. I wanted the world to know about what she did." A campaign to get Braun a raise and promotion was quickly launched in the YouTube comments section underneath Jiang's video. "Jackie is awesome," more than one viewer wrote. "The world needs more people like her." "Yo, if Krispy Kreme doesn't promote her to CEO I'm boycotting!" wrote another. "And I love doughnuts." Jiang, who launched a Facebook page called "Give Jackie at Krispy Kreme a Raise," said he returned to Krispy Kreme on Sunday to thank Braun for going above and beyond the call of doughnut duty. Braun, though, said she didn't do anything out of the ordinary. "It was a simple thing," Braun, who's been with Krispy Kreme for five years, said. "The Olympic symbol was the only unusual part, because they're not on TV right now. But we do orders like that every day. We're here to make people happy."
