Hello My Friends,
Here is a great article that I want to share with you on "Rejecting Rejection". The article is written by Lisa Jemenez, and for those of you who have not heard of Lisa she is a best-selling author, and she teaches people how to overcome fear in their life. Enjoy the article and perhaps it may help someone here.
Written By: Lisa Jemenez Rejection to the sales person is the greatest form of failure. Many think that rejection is the one thing that paralyzes them, and can make them incapable of moving forward. No one would want to be rejected, right?
Wrong!
There is one kind of person who doesn’t mind rejection. In fact, this person counts on it – even welcomes it! That person is probably a leader in their business. They are most likely on the upper ladder of their company’s compensation plan. In all probability they have created a life they love.
This person is someone who understands the Law of Average (LOA). He or she knows that it takes ten rejections to get one yes. It takes several dates to meet “the one”. And, it takes lots of really bad opportunity meetings to get to the superb presentations.
It seems that males understand and accept this truth better than females. Why is that? Maybe it’s because it is much more common for a little boy to be given a ball and a bat and told, “You’ll miss the ball more times than you’ll hit the ball.” So, this little boy grows up to understand that missing the ball (facing a rejection) is going to happen more times than hitting the ball (enjoying a sale).
Once you know the truth about LOA, you will never look at rejection in the same way. You’ll know that rejection means you are that much closer to making a sale, getting a yes, or discovering that special someone. Rejection is a part of the journey to success.
I guess you have to ask yourself, “Am I willing to hear a “no” to get to the “yes”? Or better yet, “Am I willing to hear lots of 'no's' to get to one 'yes'"? If you can’t answer that in the affirmative, then you are setting yourself up for a lot of aggravation. The Law of Average never lies, and it must be accepted and followed to ensure success.
Reject Rejection by Accepting the Law of Average (LOA)!
