Rejection isn't easy, but it happens to ALL of us!! Don't let it stop you in your tracks! Years ago, I did a fundraising campaign for LLS to support the fight against cancer. What did I learn? Rejection is inevitable, no matter what you do in life... So if you want to learn more about handling "no's," try running a fundraising campaign or learn from what I am sharing... If people can say no to cancer, they'll say no to anything you do or sell in the future. Don't take it personally - learn and grow from it. Reflect: Was I being pushy? Was I showing up as my authentic self? Remember, we can't help everyone, and what we do isn't for everyone. Try to not take it personally and don't let that stop you from being YOU!!

Rejection at a networking event is just part of the process, and I handle it with professionalism by staying positive and focused. I remind myself that not every connection will be the right fit and see it as an opportunity to learn and refine my approach. By maintaining confidence, continuing to engage with others, and not taking it personally, I can bounce back quickly and turn the experience into growth

One thing I found helpful – all negative scenarios in networking are not a tragedy. Yes, it can be confused, painful, unpleasant but later after objective analysis and reflection the perfect solution will appear. Just take a moment to think about the situation, make conclusions and let it go. There is always faith and hope. Today you are not accepted, tomorrow you have a new chance to be accepted. Rejection is giving an opportunity to pay attention to your possibilities, your pros & cons. What can be improved in communication and what is simply is not right match. It is a part of growth and experience.

Un rechazo ante ese tipo de situaciones hay que destacar siempre que no es algo personal. Un NO hoy, se puede convertir en un Si mañana, ya que puede que no sea el momento estratégico de la necesidad de esa persona, por lo cual es importante más allá de la respuesta de ese momento, no perder la oportunidad de establecer una conexión humana, genuina, y asi ganarse su confianza, ya que aunque a esta persona no vea en este momento necesario tu ofrecimiento, al lograr una relación genuina y teniendo su confianza, pueda ayudarte refiriéndote a otra persona.a las que si le podrías ayudar.

El rechazo en un evento de networking puede ser desalentador, pero es una oportunidad disfrazada. La frustración inicial es natural; permite sentir y reflexionar. En lugar de verlo como un fracaso, pregúntate: ¿qué puedo aprender de esta experiencia? Recupérate con profesionalismo: agradece la interacción, busca retroalimentación y mantén tu confianza. Cada "no" te acerca más a un "sí". Recuerda, cada paso es parte del viaje hacia el éxito. ¡Sigue adelante! ______________________ Pedro Figueroa ¡Partner Figueroa!🤝

Según mi experiencia lo primero que hay que hacer es respirar profundo y reflexionar sobre lo que paso, ademas el aceptar el rechazo es siempre parte del proceso , ademas mantener una actitud positiva al mantener una mentalidad abierta y optimista sobre futuras oportunidades ayuda mucho.

Rejection at a networking event is a learning opportunity rather than a setback. I approach it by reflecting on what didn’t work and adjusting my strategy for future interactions. I remind myself of past successes to reaffirm my value, setting new achievable goals that align with my growth. Staying engaged with other connections shows resilience and reinforces that setbacks are part of the journey to success.
