Did you know that there are two kinds of rejection, active rejection and passive rejection?
1) Passive Rejection
No return Calls
Ignored Emails
Won’t take calls
“Forgets” meetings
2) Active Rejection
Abrasive
Rude
Hangs up the phone during conversation
Makes personal attacks
Attacks the product or service
Some salespeople can’t handle passive rejection, others active rejection. The key to surviving the sales process and growing as a sales person, however, is the ablity to handle all types of rejection, both passive and active.
So, how quickly can you get back on your feet and back into selling mode? Remember, any downtime away from selling is money lost. So it is important to get back in the game as quickly as possible. One of the most important attributes of any good salesperson is their ability to handle rejection, recover quickly, and move on to the next sales call.
