The fear of rejection can hinder our personal and professional growth. Can we learn to see transformative growth in "No"? Andrea Waltz is the author of "," a concept that encourages us to embrace rejection as a stepping stone to success. The crux of the "Go for No" philosophy is simple yet profound: to achieve more 'yeses' in life, we must intentionally increase our failure rate.

The conversation also touches on the importance of emotional intelligence and the ability to connect with others. Andrea highlights the need for curiosity and active listening in building relationships, which can significantly enhance our chances of success in any endeavor. By understanding the perspectives and needs of others, we can tailor our approaches and create more meaningful connections.

In this episode of Mastering Modern Selling, Andrea Waltz, co-author of Go for No: Yes is the Destination, No is How You Get There, joins the conversation to explore the psychology of rejection in sales. With over 25 years of experience, Andrea shares why sellers fear rejection, how to shift their mindset, and why embracing failure can lead to greater success.If you've ever hesitated before reaching out to a prospect or felt discouraged after a lost deal, this episode will help you reframe rejection as a valuable tool for growth.Why We Fear Rejection (And How to Overcome It)Human nature wires us to avoid rejection, as it triggers fears of exclusion.The more exposure you have to rejection, the less it impacts you—building resilience over time.Experienced sellers don't avoid rejection; they learn to navigate it strategically.No is Not Personal—It's DataRejection is often about timing, priorities, or misalignment—not a personal failure.Sellers should analyze patterns of rejection to improve messaging and sales strategies.Viewing rejection as feedback rather than defeat creates a mindset shift that fosters long-term success.The Disappearing Training Ground for New SellersWith automation taking over early sales activities, new sellers miss out on learning how to handle rejection.Fewer cold calls and outreach attempts mean less opportunity to build resilience.Sales leaders should create structured opportunities for new reps to experience rejection in a safe, constructive way.The No-to-Yes Ratio: Tracking Your Rejection RateEvery salesperson has a success ratio—knowing how many "no's" lead to a "yes" removes fear from the equation.Instead of dreading rejection, sellers should actively seek it out as part of their process.Andrea's Go for No challenge encourages salespeople to aim for a set number of rejections, reframing them as progress rather than obstacles.Why a Fast No is Better Than a Slow MaybeMany salespeople fear hearing "no" and waste time on deals that won't close.A clear, early rejection is beneficial—it saves time, allows sellers to move on, and refines the pipeline.Some of the most effective sales strategies involve leading with what your product doesn't offer, helping unqualified buyers opt out early.Andrea Waltz challenges the traditional fear of rejection by redefining it as a necessary step toward success. By tracking "no's," embracing failure, and learning from rejection, sales professionals can develop resilience and improve their effectiveness.Instead of avoiding rejection, what if you welcomed it? What if every "no" brought you closer to a "yes"? That's the essence of Go for No—and it's a game-changing mindset shift for modern sellers. Don't miss out—your next big idea could be just one episode away! This Show is sponsored by Fist BumpYour prospecting partner to authentically fill your pipeline with ideal customers.

Whether you're starting out or have been in the game for years, overcoming this fear is crucial for success. But here's the good news: confidence in sales is a skill you can build, and with the right strategies, even the fear of rejection can become manageable. I’ve been there. Throughout my career in some of the toughest sales roles, I faced rejection countless times. It’s something many of us struggle with, but it doesn’t have to define our success. From the age of 14, I’ve learned and applied powerful strategies taught by incredible mentors. These lessons have helped me not only overcome rejection but to turn sales into a more enjoyable and fulfilling process. One key mindset shift is understanding that rejection isn’t personal; it’s part of the process. Building daily habits that reinforce resilience can transform how you approach selling. Additionally, by creating authentic connections and focusing on the value you bring, sales becomes less about pitching and more about building relationships. Today, I want to share practical strategies that have worked for me, approaches that can help you show up confidently, make meaningful connections, and achieve real results. Who knew selling could actually be fun? With the right perspective and tools, it absolutely can be.

In this episode of the Live Fearlessly Free podcast, we explore the entrepreneurial success path so we can maintain momentum, set new goals, overcome obstacles, and celebrate success—all from a Christian perspective. I'll guide you through the final stage–the expansion stage, where we'll explore New Horizons. We need self-reflection, community support, and the continuous pursuit of new horizons. It's time to embrace your achievements, learn from setbacks, and expand your vision for the future. Takeaways Christian women entrepreneurs often struggle to maintain momentum toward their goals. It's common to lose steam on goals, but there are ways to fuel your success to keep it going. Celebration is crucial for motivation and fuels progress. Self-reflection helps identify obstacles. Assessing achievements, learning from mistakes, and focusing on areas for growth are crucial. Community support enhances accountability. Setting new goals is essential after achieving old ones. Documenting success aids in future planning. Adjusting goals based on past performance is key. Mindset shifts can empower goal achievement. Expanding your vision can lead to greater achievements. The process towards success is cyclical and requires constant growth, action, learning, mastery, and expansion. The ultimate vision should always be bigger than the immediate goals and should be regularly revisited and expanded. Sound Bites “You do not have to be perfect.

Andrea Waltz is an experienced author and co-author of the book "Go for No." She has spent over twenty years in the publishing industry and recently wrote "The Million Dollar Book Formula" with her partner, Richard Fenton. Andrea is passionate about helping others write and publish their own books, drawing on her extensive experience and unique insights. Three Key Quotes: "Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it." "You don't have to go out there and write the Odyssey or the Iliad." "You want a best-consumed book, not just a best-selling one." Andrea Waltz discusses the journey of writing her book, "The Million Dollar Book Formula," emphasizing the importance of focusing on the core message, keeping books concise, and targeting the right audience. She provides insights on overcoming common writing struggles and highlights strategies for creating impactful, consumable content. 5 Key Takeaways: Focus on Core Message: Narrow down the problem your book aims to solve. Avoid unnecessary scope creep and stick to essential content. Keep the book concise and to the point. Understand Your Audience: Identify your ideal customer profile (ICP) for the book. Cater to a specific niche rather than trying to appeal to everyone. Consider the needs and preferences of your target readers. Simplify the Writing Process: Use a question-and-answer format to structure your book. Turn key questions into chapter headers. Remove content that is "nice to know" but not essential. Embrace Unique Formats: Consider shorter books or different formats like workbooks. Be creative with the book's design and layout. Think about how best to deliver your message effectively. Strategize for Marketing: Focus on where you sell your book, such as using Amazon for better visibility. Make sure your book is easy to consume, encouraging recommendations. Include bonus content to engage readers and provide additional value. By applying these principles, Andrea Waltz demonstrates how to write and publish a book that not only sells but also effectively communicates its message and resonates with its audience.

Sales Presentation Skills That Get You To "Yes" Faster In this episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast, Jeb Blount talks to renowned sales experts Richard Fenton and Andrea Waltz about their “Go For No” approach to embracing rejection in sales. They discuss how the fear of “no” sabotages sales presentations and what salespeople can do to deliver more successful and engaging presentations that get them to “yes”. The fear of failure and rejection can sabotage sales presentations and affect performance. Embracing rejection and understanding its value can lead to more successful sales presentations. The "Go for No" strategy involves intentionally increasing failure rate and using each "no" as valuable data for growth. Preparation and structure are essential in delivering compelling sales presentations. Improvisation in sales presentations can come across as unprofessional or unprepared. Don't just show up and throw up. Storytelling is a powerful tool to engage the audience and connect with them on a deeper level. Sharing stories about overcoming challenges and how your solution helped can capture attention and emotions. Losing your place or stumbling over words during a presentation is common, but maintaining composure and smoothly continuing is key. Well-prepared presentations instill confidence in the salesperson and engage the audience more effectively. But it's important to bring passion and authenticity to sales presentations rather than striving for perfection. The Fear Of “No” Derails Sales Presentations In the dynamic world of sales, where each presentation is an opportunity to forge valuable connections and secure vital deals, a formidable adversary often lurks in the shadows—the fear of failure and rejection. It's a sentiment that frequently courses through the veins of salespeople, affecting their confidence and ultimately their performance. This fear, while entirely human, can become an insidious obstacle to delivering compelling sales presentations. But here's the paradox: it's precisely this fear, when understood and harnessed, that can catapult a salesperson from mediocrity to mastery. This podcast delves into the heart of this challenge, exploring why salespeople often grapple with the fear of rejection and failure, how it affects their ability to engage their audience, and most importantly, why embracing this fear can be a game-changer in the competitive world of sales. What Is “Go For No” All About? The concept of "Go for No" is about intentionally increasing your failure rate and intentionally hearing "no" more often. The idea behind this is that when you embrace rejection, it paves the way for more "yeses" to come. However, this doesn't mean that you should simply keep hearing "no" without making any improvements or using the feedback from those rejections. It's important to treat each "no" as valuable data for growth. For instance, you can set goals based on the number of "no" responses you aim to receive, and actively seek out opportunities to hear "no." Don't Show Up and Throw Up In the world of sales presentations, there's a phrase that often rings true: "Don't show up and throw up." It's a cautionary mantra that reminds salespeople of the importance of preparation and structure in their interactions with potential clients. Showing up unprepared, with no more than a vague idea of what to say, can lead to a meandering and unconvincing pitch. Instead, successful sales presentations require careful planning. Salespeople should have their notes ready to go, create a basic outline for the conversation, and prepare specific talking points.

When They Say No: Overcoming Rejection And Shifting Your Mindset Introduces Andrea and Richard's new book, When They Say No, and provides valuable insights on overcoming rejection in sales. The fear of rejection has evolutionary roots, but it can be reframed to reach positive sales outcomes. Breaking the negative thought spiral that follows rejection is crucial and should be given due importance. The opening phase in sales, though often overlooked, holds significant value in establishing rapport and understanding customer needs. Learn practical strategies to effectively handle rejection and rewire the mindset for success. Salespeople should endeavor to embrace rejection as an opportunity for growth and relationship-building. When salespeople overcome the fear of rejection, they achieve lasting sales success. Your Fear of "No" Is Holding You Back Are you tired of feeling defeated by rejection in sales and find yourself avoiding potential opportunities because the fear of hearing "no" holds you back? It's time to shift your mindset and embrace rejection as a stepping stone to success. In this episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast, renowned sales experts Richard Fenton and Andrea Waltz share valuable insights from their book When They Say No that will revolutionize your sales approach. The Power of Reframing Rejection Our fear of rejection is deeply rooted in our evolutionary history. Throughout human evolution, being accepted by the tribe was crucial for survival. Rejection meant being cast out and left to fend for oneself, facing increased vulnerability to predators and the loss of the collective support and resources provided by the group. Our brains developed a powerful instinct to avoid rejection at all costs. However, the good news is that we possess the ability to hack our brains and change our perception of rejection. Instead of automatically equating rejection with death or social isolation, we can actively reframe our thoughts. By recognizing that rejection in the modern world does not carry the same life-or-death consequences, we can replace our negative thoughts with more productive ones. We can remind ourselves that rejection is often subjective and influenced by various factors beyond our control. With this shift in perspective, we can approach rejection as a valuable learning experience, an opportunity to grow and improve rather than a definitive judgment of our worth. Breaking the Cycle of Negative Thoughts Salespeople, in particular, are often vulnerable to a dangerous spiral of negative thoughts following rejection. When faced with a rejection, it is easy to get caught in a downward spiral of worry, anxiety, and self-doubt. This negative cycle not only hampers our emotional well-being but also impairs our effectiveness in sales. The more we dwell on negative outcomes, the more our confidence wavers, and the less persuasive and motivated we become. Recognizing this pattern is crucial for breaking free from its grasp. By actively reframing our thoughts, we can disrupt the negative cycle and redirect our focus towards positive outcomes. Instead of dwelling on what went wrong or personalizing the rejection, we can shift our attention to the lessons learned, the potential for improvement, and the possibilities of future success. It is essential to understand that rejection is not solely a psychological problem but also a physiological one. The fear of rejection triggers stress responses in our bodies, which further perpetuate the negative thought patterns. By recognizing this physiological aspect and consciously choosing to reframe our thoughts, we can liberate ourselves from the chains of fear and propel ourselves towards success in sales and beyond. The Power of the Opening Phase The opening phase of the sales process is an aspect often overlooked in sales literature. Selling goes beyond pitching product features and freebies.

One of the themes we frequently talk about on the Daily Writer Podcast, as well as the Daily Writer Club, is the reality that all authors are businesspeople. Anytime you provide a product or service in exchange for money, you have a business.

However, many writers and creative types struggle with selling. That's why I'm excited to bring you this interview with the amazing Richard Fenton and Andrea Waltz! Richard and Andrea are the founders of Courage Crafters, Inc., and the authors of the best-selling book, Go for No! Yes is the Destination, No is How You Get There, and many others, including their brand-new book, When They Say No: The Definitive Guide for Handling Rejection in Sales. They speak internationally, teaching business, sales, and entrepreneurial audiences how to overcome their fear of rejection and achieve extraordinary sales success by hearing 'no' more often. Their business-building strategies have been embraced by people in various businesses and industries to rave reviews and amazing results. Richard and Andrea are also producers of a 98-minute personal development movie, and their “Go for No!” philosophy has been featured in hundreds of online and offline publications including Inc. Magazine, Forbes, Success Magazine, and many more. The book, Go for No! reached #1 on Amazon's “Selling” book list in 2010. The book has remained in the top 50 of ‘Sales' books for the last 12 years and has become a well-known methodology in the world of selling, widely recognized as the singular best program for dealing with rejection in business. For more on Go for No! visit www.GoforNo.com. In our conversation, Richard and Andrea walk us through the story of how they wrote Go For No!, why they wrote it as a story, and how sensitive writers can handle rejection and use it to build success. We also spend some time in the second half of the conversation talking about how to handle prospective clients who have ghosted you. I think you'll find this very helpful!
