Social Media Marketing_ 7 books - Charles Edwards

(Budkaster2723) #1

One big reason why people never ask for the sale is that they are afraid of
rejection or, worse, being ridiculed for offering something that the other
person may not see as being a necessary product or service. Being afraid of
offering your services is natural and being afraid of receiving rejection or
harsh feedback for offering your services is also natural. In our society,
bullying is a very common thing and we are not often taught about how we
can effectively handle the feelings that come with being rejected. Learning
how to adjust your mindset so that you can begin feeling more confident that
rejection is not a negative thing and that being ridiculed is a very uncommon
thing can help you feel more confident in overcoming this fear. You will also
find that as you get rejected more and more, your feelings of rejection are no
longer as intense because you discover that being rejected is truly not that
bad. When your product or service has been rejected, realize that it is not you
being rejected, instead it is your audience rejecting the offer that you have
made. This might happen because your offer is not aligned with that person at
that moment, because they have not yet developed enough trust in you and
your gifts, or because they are not presently in need of the services that you
are offering. In some cases, consistent rejection may mean that your service
needs to be adjusted or altered to help you begin creating more traction, as
you may simply have a certain element of your service not jiving well with
your audience.
