Have you Failed?
Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 - 10:00 am - Sales
This was pointed out to me this morning by my good friend, Reese Lloyd from Cocktail Hacker:
Great reminder not to give up after your first failure, or your second, or third, or any of them. In sales you are going to fail repeatedly. Some sales jobs think that a 10% close ration is amazing. That means a 90% fail ratio. If you can’t handle failure without getting back up to dust yourself off, you’ll never make it in sales. You probably won’t make it much of anywhere if you can’t bounce back from it.
I failed this week understanding a client’s request which led to a large amount frustration for both sides as we missed each other’s messages.
What did you fail at?
