No

Posted on by philipdodson

In business ‘no’ is not the personal rejection that we often choose to think it is. We so often become deflated by that small two-letter word.

The person does not know you that well to make that personal judgement.

What a ‘no’ means is often, your pitch was not clear enough, you are not solving my problem, you did not understand the problem, you were not confident enough, it’s the wrong time and so on.

As always it is how we choose to see things.

‘No’ means we have to do even better, we have to listen better, we have to learn and move forward with a better version.

It does not mean you are a failure or worthless. We all too often wrongly equate our work with our worth. We are all already worthy regardless of what we achieve.

Pitch away, no one cares

We spend a great deal of time trying to perfect our pitches, we attend seminars, retreats, buy books and listening to ‘experts’ all telling us how to deliver the ‘killer’ pitch.

The reality is no one cares anymore for our pitches, and in fact, they were too busy rehearsing their’s to be listening to yours anyway.

Want more business?

Then connect with people, help them, share something with them and give them something useful. Build trust, build a relationship and most importantly tell your story so that you inspire them to want to be part of your tribe.

Manipulation and sales are dead.

The truly genuine successes in life are the ones who don’t care about perfecting a pitch or what everyone else thinks, they create something that matters to them and share it with people who will care as they are connected.

The mass is melting and disappearing with it is the perfect pitch.
