The biggest difference between great sales reps and bad ones: How they bounce back from rejection. Early on in sales I had issues recovering from rejection. There are so many ways to de-rail your whole day. - Unresponsive prospects. - Deals falling through. - A rude prospect. - A bad call. - Etc… Those negative interactions can easily string into bad Days / Weeks / Months. Instead… Great reps do an awesome job of getting back to equilibrium. Might have a big win, or a big loss. But… They level out quickly from those emotional swings. Instead of dwelling, they focus on: - Look at what can be learned from each situation. - Reward yourself for the work, not the outcome. - Focus on things they can control. - Celebrate the small wins. - Think long-term. It’s an area that I’ve been working on this year. Look to get back to that baseline. ⚖️ Subscribe to my newsletter - Sales Synergy - 👉 Link in bio.
If you can become resilient to rejection, you’ve crossed a major threshold in sales 💪🏻
Really great visual
Underrated topic. Often, the inner game makes the difference, not technique.
Emotional balance is crucial in bouncing back from rejection in sales. Cipriano Martins
Oh, you definitely need a growth mindset otherwise you can't survive in sales. We have to be able to learn from each situation.
Rejection is inevitable and learning to not let it affect you is important
Stoicism is key
Minimizing the impact of bad news/results can be a big differentiator.
It's just part of the process
