Risk Rejection, Reap Rewards!

By
Real Estate Agent with Response Realtors

I had a good message re-affirmed by my brother last week.  He wasn't speaking about real estate, but did it ever ring true.

My brother, Jay Cavaiani, founder of the www.campusway.org was invited to speak at Bread of Life Church and give the homily.  This church has a loyal, but small congregation.  So when 30 additional people showed up, it was very noticeable.

Near the end of his message, he talked about how when you put God or Jesus out in front of you for everyone to see, be prepared to be rejected.  He went on to say how wonderful it was to have so many people in church today and felt honored that people actually came to listen.  But then he informed everyone that he invited through facebook, email and phone calls....... over 200 people.  "So I had to be rejected over 170 times to get 30 people to show up."

Boy did that ever strike home in regards to prospecting in real estate!  How many rejections are you willing to face today?  Or should that question be spun around?  How many people will say yes?

Greg,

If we don't ask we dont't get. We have to get rejections just to get acceptance.

Thanks Mike, fear of rejection can be the biggest paralyzer of them all.
