NOteworthy Thought of the Month 

"I really don’t think life is about the I-could-have-beens. Life is only about the I-tried-to-do. I don’t mind the failure but I can’t imagine that I’d forgive myself if I didn’t try." - Nikki Giovannio

No Is An Opportunity
by Richard Fenton & Andrea Waltz

It may sound cliché but it’s true that when one door closes another opens. Getting a ‘no’ has the potential to open you up to entirely new opportunities. 

We recently surveyed several sales professionals in a sales group on linkedin.com and everyone had a story about how a ‘no’ actually benefited them.  One person reported back saying, “A client said no, but gave me a lead that turned into one of my best sales ever.” 

Another person told a story about how he had cold-called on a large company. It turned out they were in a contract with another supplier. The salesperson then asked them about other people they knew who could use his product and he was referred to a location just down the street where he signed what he described, “a nice long, profitable agreement.”

Operating from a place of fearing or avoiding opportunities to get a ‘no’ is when the greatest chance for opportunities is actually lost. When you can see the value in it, things will start falling into your lap that you never planned or expected!
