Networking marketing is one of those careers where you will have to learn to deal with rejection. Not everyone will want what you are selling, so you need to be very careful about how you handle hearing the word "NO." Here are a few pieces of advice that will help you deal with rejection a bit easier.
One thing you should keep in mind is that it is not a good idea to take things personally. If someone does not sign up with you, it does not necessarily mean that there is something wrong with you. It could be as simple as them not having an interest in what you have to offer. Do not allow this to stop you from continuing to market to others.
If you have been pretty successful up to now, you know that you have the potential to be great. Do not start beating yourself up just because you are not seeing as much interest as you were in the past. The truth is that in marketing things change rapidly. What may have been hot last week may be old news by now. Keep telling yourself that you are good at what you do and adapt your marketing plan to meet the changes of the world.
Stay positive regardless of what you do. This is important because sometimes our moods are conveyed in ways we don't intend for them to be. If you are upset or angry, that will sometimes get communicated to potential customers. Do not allow a negative from someone else to snowball into a lot of negatives.
If someone says no to you, politely inquire about what the reasons are for that. if there is something that you can do to change that, work on it. Sometimes an initial rejection can turn into an acceptance at a later time. Do not take any criticisms and dismiss them right away. Think about what is said to you and ask yourself if it is something worth changing.
You are not the only person in the world that has ever got a rejection, so think of it that way. There are successful people all over the place that had to hear "NO" quite a few times before they got to where they are now. Do not walk around with a "woe is me" attitude about it since people will look at you like you have no backbone, which is another way to scare off potential clients.
Even if you have to revamp your entire marketing plan, never allow rejection to get you to quit. Do the best you can to stay motivated and focused on your goals. If everyone quit whenever they got rejections, we would not have such great inventions as the telephone, traffic light or electricity.
Every point in your network marketing career will be something to learn from, and this includes receiving rejections from people. if you do not know how to handle it when it happens, you will not get very far. The advice above should have given you a solid idea of how to tale the rejection and move on.
