Crave the NO
When I am doing sales training, I tell my would-be sales gurus that to be successful in sales, they must learn to "Crave the NO" - meaning they must learn to not just get comfortable hearing the word "no", but they must crave it. Why? Because in sales it takes approximately 10 "no's" to get a "yes" - so each time you hear the word "no" it means you are one step closer to hearing "yes" and getting that big sale. Therefore - crave the NO. Champion sales people understand that hearing no is part of getting to yes. Average sales people let every nuance of the word no strike them like arrows and deflate the rest of their sales presentations.
