In any business or industry, facing rejections is a huge part of becoming successful. But this is doubly so in the direct selling industry. As a direct seller for QNET India, facing rejections is a part of running a successful business. But the sad truth is that many direct sellers I have seen have not learned how to take rejections professionally. People tend to feel that they are getting rejected instead of the customer rejecting the product or business opportunity. To succeed as a direct seller, it is important that you learn the art of facing rejections in a professional manner.
As a direct seller, you will be faced with more ‘nos’ than ‘yes’. But a direct selling superstar knows that rejections are just professional and not personal. Here are some things to keep in mind when facing rejections as a direct seller.
It is Nothing Personal
The reason that many people are scared of rejection is that they take it as a rejection of them and not the business opportunity or product that they are selling. There can be a number of reasons why your sales pitch was rejected by your prospective customer. This can range from a lack of interest to other personal reasons. But it is important to know that it is almost never personal. Learning to face rejections professionally rather than personally can help improve your chances of making a future sale.
Expect it
Sales is a numbers game. Even the best direct seller misses out on a sale than making it. Therefore, a smart QNET distributor expects rejections. But this does not mean that they do not put in the effort. Expecting rejections and still trying to make a sale will allow you to prepare for any kind of objections and fine-tune your sales pitch for the same.
Remain Professional
When facing rejection in your sales pitch, the smart and respectable thing to do is to remain professional. Not only does this give the image of a polite and professional person to your prospects, but it also encourages them to turn to you in the future if they need any product.
Ask Why
There might be a number of reasons why your sales pitch got rejected by your prospective customer. Therefore, it is always crucial to find out why your sales pitch was rejected. Maybe the customer is not looking for a new product. Or maybe you were not able to explain the benefits of the product in a satisfactory manner. Knowing the reason behind a failed sales pitch can help you correct the mistakes and make a better sales pitch the next time around.
Try a last-minute Proposal
Hope can be a powerful motivator. Though it is important not to cross the line towards being pushy, sending a last-minute proposal can sometimes give you a positive result. People need time to make decisions, and sending a last-minute proposal gives the opportunity to take advantage of this.
Rejection is a part of Sales
Just think of the times that you got rejected before your first sale. Each rejection you face is only a stepping stone in a future sale.
Talk to others
One of the best things about being an entrepreneur for QNET is that you get a large network of successful and accomplished direct sellers to turn to. These people will be able to give you valuable knowledge and information on how to make a better sales pitch and how to avoid making mistakes that could have cost you the sale. You can either talk to your peers who are on the same level as you or to your uplines for advice and support.
Focus on the Positive
When faced with multiple rejections, it can be easy to lose focus and be demotivated. However, when you were feeling down and demotivated, you can always turn to your past success and positive moments. Always remember that it’s the final goal that matters. And all the obstacles you have to pass through are just lessons to be learned.
Persistence is Key
A superstar direct seller never stops drying, even if they are faced with countless rejections. A good direct seller knows that they will make a successful sale in time and remains persistent in the face of adversities. Even if a customer rejects your sales pitch, do not completely strike their name off the list. Things change, and you might be able to make a sale. However, there is a fine line between being persistent and being annoying.
Stick to your Routine
If you have a routine that you follow to make your sale, do not let rejections take you away from it. If you had plans to make a certain number of calls or to meet certain people, do not let rejections put you off track. Stick to your routine, and you will soon be able to get back in the game.
Never give up
Let’s end with the most valuable piece of advice I can give. No matter how many rejections you face, it is important not to give up. And this is not just applicable in direct selling. The truth is that persistence and not giving up always pays in the end.
Facing rejection and success as a QNET Direct Selling
Rejections are a major part of direct selling. But it is also a major part of life as a whole. If facing rejections was not a big problem, more people would be successful in life. But in the end, it is those people who put in the effort, remain persistent in the face of rejections, and keep moving forward that succeed in life. This is also true when it comes to facing rejections as a QNET direct seller.
