Breakfast of Superstars

Real Estate Agent with Realty One Group # S.0190863

Sometimes you hear something you heard all that many times before, and yet it strikes you a whole new way. This time it grabs you. This time it stimulates your adrenaline. It makes an energy surge within you.

 

I had such a moment today when I was catching a video on a piece of software. The software helps sales people reach new customers. As he was addressing how some people get discouraged he said something that really caught me this time. Actually, he said 2 things:

 

“I eat rejection for breakfast”

 

and

 

“Rejection is the fuel that feeds my family”

 

If every person told us yes, they would pay us minimum wage. What we really get paid for is rejection. I already know a couple of powerful people here on A R that I am sure will agree and just eat that up.

Good morning Sheila! If you know you must speak to 200 people to close a transaction then you can always say you get paid $50 per 'no'

Rocky, rejection is tough, as I know I wear my emotions on my sleeve (I have been told), and sometimes takes a day to get over that feeling.

Rocky my attitude towards a "NO" answer is that I am one step closer to getting a "YES".

Hi Rocky- most any successful salesperson has faced rejections too numerous to count. I'm not sure If I would go so far as to say I eat rejection for breakfast however having tasted it enough in my life I now know how to add some salt or sugar to it to help it go down easier.
