I learned about this philosophy last Saturday at an Ignite Academy training. The idea being that in sales and marketing you have to talk to a lot of people and get a lot of "No's" to get to your "Yes's". Why is "no" so paralyzing??? I know for me, I take it as a personal rejection. That I have done a poor job representing whatever it is I am talking about and it is a direct reflection of my short-comings. Supposedly, this program (Go for No!) is going to change my feelings about all that - bring some clarity to me - and help me move forward! (I'll keep you posted - I tend to be VERY stubborn...) :)
I'm also going to focus on the momentum of duplication - that, again, is a hard concept to wrap my head around - even though it's easy to see how it works. How many of you have heard this - If I gave you a million dollars today or a penny doubled every day for 30 days which would you take? Seems crazy that a penny doubled could make much of a difference, but look at this:
I mean, really, what a challenge to keep motivated when half way through - at day 15 - we're at less than $164!!! How hard not to quit and say this just isn't worth it, I should have taken the $1,000,000 two weeks ago!
Lastly, today I will watch this video at least once. I love the commentator as he explains about human nature here. It's not filmed well - and if you go to youtube there are more clips from different angles, but this one is great for the message.
Yesterday I didn't get anyone new to join my team, but I did get a few "Sounds good - I'll look into it." This job is simple, not easy...
