Facing rejections is a given if you become a direct seller with QNET. In fact, it is a major part of any direct selling company. Direct selling is one of those industries where rejections are not just stepping stones to success but are also gatekeepers to it. Many new direct sellers become quickly disheartened by rejections and quit before finding success. In fact, more than 50% of direct sellers quit before they complete their first year as they become disheartened and lose motivation. But the other half, the ones that hold on and stay determined, will be able to make it big in the business and achieve success.
But facing rejections professionally can be hard, especially for newcomers in the industry. The same is also true for any other industry that includes sales. But there are a few things, which, if practised and kept in mind, can help anyone in facing rejections professionally and in achieving success in the direct selling business.
Expect rejection and do not take it seriously
One of the first things to keep in mind when doing a sales call is that rejections are a major part of it. Most direct sellers, especially newcomers to the field, will have to go through rejections a few times before they make their first sale. Even experienced QNET direct sellers will face rejections occasionally. But the thing with the latter is that they know rejections are a part of the game and accept it. They are not shocked by it and know that it is something that has to be taken as a chance to grow and become better.
Have multiple options
A smart direct seller will never depend on just one customer to make the sale. They will have multiple prospective customers that they try selling to. If one of the customers rejects them, they put their efforts into the others and use the lessons that they learn from the rejection to better their next sales pitch. Also, knowing the fact that there are others to fall back onto will also allow you to be better relaxed and cool-headed in your sales pitch.
A no today might become a yes tomorrow.
In many instances, facing rejections might be due to bad timing. Maybe the prospective customer is not looking to buy what you are selling right now. Maybe they do not have the money to invest in a new product. As time changes, people’s plans and ideas about the product changes as well. Maybe they heard something good about the company or came into contact with someone who benefited from the products. Therefore it is important to make sure that you send a last-minute proposal to make sure that they do not change their mind. But remember, there is a fine line between checking up on a prospective client and being annoying. Do not cross that line.
Rejections are not personal
One of the biggest problems that prevents direct sellers from taking the plunge and trying to make a sale is the fear of rejections. Everyone is afraid of rejection. But in an industry like QNET direct selling, rejections have a big part to play. Ask any successful QNET entrepreneur, and they will credit their past rejections and failures in helping them become a better seller and business man. When faced with a rejection by a prospective client, a superstar direct seller just smiles, remains professional and walks away.
Learn from your past rejections
Facing rejections are a great source of valuable lessons that will help you become at sales. After every rejection, try to find out what you did wrong and how you could have done better. Maybe your choice of the prospective customer was wrong, or maybe you were not successfully able to explain the benefits of the product or how it would improve the customer’s life to them. It is important to make sure that you take rejections as a lesson at improving your selling technique.
As you can see, facing rejection is a major part of building a successful direct selling business. But a good direct seller knows how to face rejections professionally and not to take them personally. It is, in fact, one of the most important rules to achieving success as a direct seller.
