Direct sales consultants frequently mention that their phone feels like it's 500 pounds when it's time to make those crucial business calls. This feeling is especially common when they're attempting to secure bookings. But what exactly prevents consultants from making these calls? The answer is simple: fear. Fear of making mistakes, not knowing the right words, or looking foolish?"all manifestations of the fear of rejection. The real question is, what if they say no?
Rejection is what often stops us from picking up the phone and making necessary calls. The ability to handle rejection can mean the difference between success and failure in your business.
Hearing a "no" can be disheartening. Positive thoughts can quickly turn negative with each rejection. You might think, "This will never work," "What was I thinking?" or "I should just quit." These thoughts are self-defeating and damaging to your motivation.
To move past the fear of rejection, consider what a "no" truly means for your life. Imagine you have two bookings and decide to make some calls to secure more. The first person says no, then the second, and even the third. But what has genuinely changed? You still have your initial two bookings. Do the people who care about you stop loving you because of these rejections? Will your house crumble because someone declined your offer? In reality, nothing significant has changed. Realizing that a rejection doesn’t alter your real-world situation can greatly influence how you perceive a "no."
A "no" merely indicates an opportunity to work smarter, not harder. It’s not a personal rejection but a refusal of the offer. To improve, consider how you present yourself on the phone. Are you approaching the calls with an attitude of "I need bookings" or with a perspective of "Here's what I can do for you"? Shifting your mindset to focus on what you can offer the person you're calling can make your phone feel lighter. With this new approach, you'll find yourself collecting more "yeses" and see your success grow.
