A Go for No! Story

by Andrea Waltz
When Richard and I first met, we bonded in part because of our love of writing.
After a couple of years in our business, we decided we'd move from Orange County to Los Angeles and try to live our dream of writing in Hollywood. (He'd already written a few "spec" screenplays and we'd just finished one together.)
We got a cute apartment in an area called Los Feliz, right between LA and "the Valley" near the biggest movie studios in the world.
Like most people in LA, we had two jobs. Our day jobs (our training company) and our paratheses job (screenwriting).

The first task was simply to get an agent. We'd studied the business enough, we knew this would be tough slog.
Instead of stressing over getting a YES, we set a NO goal – a goal to be rejected by 100 agents.

We'd done this successfully in our business, why not here, too?

We decided to send a minimum of 100 query letters out to start.
We mailed the first group of 20 letters. A couple of NOs came in, many didn't respond at all, and then… a YES. That one "yes" led to getting our agent.
Here's the process:

Three steps:

Figure out, how many NOs might you need to reach your goal...?
Set a No Goal.
Start.

Sometimes it's more than you expect, sometimes less... but one YES can change everything.

Go for No! Ask Your Ask Off

It's not too late!

We start tomorrow, November 13th.

Imagine ending this year without discovering what saying YES to more NOs could have done for your success – don't let the chance slip by! We've got a great group so far. If you want to be a part of it, you can get in under the wire.

Everyone who is successful in sales and life is a good asker. Whether they're aware of it in these words or not... they Go For No!
