Some people aren't into the idea of rejection but actually, there are positive reasons why getting a no is not such a bad thing. Francisco Terreros is a co-founder of Felkrem, a full-service sports marketing agency focused on two core services. First, they represent professional footballers/soccer players in their careers both on and off the field, and secondly, they sell brands and reach the players' demographics through sports and marketing. They are FIFA agents and marketers who do sales every day. The sell to parents and kids they want to sign to their firm as well as to teams and sponsors. They are selling their experience as sports marketers to brands who want to capitalize on their understanding of how to navigate and reach their target demographics. Their company is surviving, thriving, and growing rapidly despite the competition in the industry. Felkrem is dealing with the athletes' professions and their dreams. Getting no as a sales rep Sales reps have been in this situation once or twice in their careers as salespeople. It's difficult to hear the rejection, and much more difficult to accept it. But why do we get a no and why is getting a no not such a bad thing? A seller's job depends on his ability to get a yes, so naturally, a no for an answer is a hard pill to swallow. Lions are the kings of the jungle. It's their natural instinct to turn their chase into actual food. They have their hunting strategies matrixed down that when the prey gets away, they don't just give up. They walk and find another kill. They also don't necessarily go for the biggest and the fastest one. They change their game occasionally and go for something else. As sellers, we need to think like lions. It is our instinct to turn the potential sales opportunities into yeses. Our game must also be matrixed so that when we hear no, we don't walk away dejected. Instead, we walk away with a new plan in our head. We should learn to walk away and get the next one. We need to understand that no is part of the process and it's going to help us figure out what we must tweak to get the yes. Overcoming this is a hard job because our lives depend on the yes. ‘ The sales process is a numbers game and our closing rate of yes comes before several nos. Your sales career will change once you realize that and calculate how many nos you need to get a yes. Simply put, a no means one step closer to the yes. Back to the beginning We must all begin learning the basics before we become successful in our craft. Cisco got an internship with the sponsorship department in a major league soccer team in his area. He was assigned to support the sponsorship team. He took pictures of activations, set up banners in the stadium, and met with clients at the game to let them into the gate. He was a secretary but he needed to be more. He started coming in two hours before his shift and observed. With his notepad in hand, he listened to the sponsorship guide sell and he took notes to understand the process. Weeks later, he asked for more and he was given a list of people. He started calling and calling and got zero yeses. Years later he realized that all those nos taught him something since they got him closer to the job. The nos helped him understand himself and his techniques and what he needed to do to change the no into a yes. Cisco wouldn't have been able to understand that it's all a system and a process if he didn't start with the basics. The hungry lion The analogy of the lion is perfect for this subject matter. After missing their prey for a couple of times, a hungry lion is more zealous than ever to catch another one. A hungry lion is persistent and patient in an intelligent way, not in a desperate way. We need to help our team understand that. Teach your team to think like hunters and that the no is a way for them to become hungrier. Not desperate; just hungry. Desperation can be felt a mile away, so don't be that desperate seller who tries to oversell. Be hungry and be patient. A seller's desperation is a puff of wind that clients don't want to inhale. It's also good to take a mental note that clients can hear your desperate sound even in a phone conversation. When your voice drops and your tone shifts, your client will start to zone out. Pay constant attention to how you sound and how you deliver your pitch. Turn that no to a yes Cisco had a seller call him in the past for a pitch and his voice and tone were giveaways to his desperation. Cisco helped him understand the process of no and he asked the seller to count the nos he got before he had a yes. A week later, the seller talked to Cisco again but now with a triumphant voice. He said that he got 33 nos before he had a yes. Those 33 nos are no longer awful experiences because those are the setbacks that got him to a yes. Knowing the nos is the beginning. Doing something to lower the no-to-yes ratio is the next step. You do that by identifying where the gaps are in your pitch or in the presentation and you fill those gaps. ‘Check me' partner Accepting no is a difficult thing but this process is a continuous one. Even if you get better at getting yes, you'll still face some nos along the way. It's better to have someone who'll be on the journey with you. Find someone who can check you and get you back to reality when you're facing a slump. It can be your co-worker or your business partner. It can be another team member or your boss. It can be anybody who can get you back to your feet. Teach them to remind of you three things: What did you learn? What can I do better next time? The no means you're one step closer to the yes. Be reminded of those three things to overcome the depression and dejection that come with the no. So, go and find yourself a Check Me partner. This can be applied to basically every aspect of our lives because our society fosters a culture of positivity and negativity. People have high emotions of happiness and low emotions of sadness. This contrast is good because you won't be able to feel the satisfaction and elation that comes with happiness if you haven't experienced something bad. At the end of the day, rejection is a necessary evil to achieve heavenly success. Your no is one step closer to your heavenly staircase of success. Remember that every no in sales means you're one step closer to the yes. #Positivity We don't have to become an expert in overcoming rejection but we do have to understand the tools to help us overcome the rejection. Learn to turn your awful nos to beautiful yeses. “Why Getting a no is not Such a Bad Thing and How to Accept it!” episode resources Connect with Cisco in his social media to be inspired.

What do you want? Why? Getting down and dirty with these biggies.
Transforming your body is logically pretty straight forward, and much of the science and process in making the changes you want is well understood in the fitness space. However, so many people struggle to achieve their ideal body shape. Why? Getting 50-80% there can come quite quickly, especially when you have momentum and rhythm on your side. But going from good to great is reserved for the very few. Those that have a strong enough WHY, and have the mental strength to do what it takes over the long-term. Psychologically we’re so complex. Logic and knowledge is not enough to get what we truly desire. This idea is proved in all areas of our lives on a daily basis. That really is the essence of this episode discussion, as Bryn and Steve reflect on their body progress made this year. I suspect many people will be able to relate to much of our combined experience, and hopefully you can take some motivation or insights into how you pursue building your best body ever. Here’s what we discuss: 1️⃣ Are bold goals and New Years resolutions worth it? 2️⃣ Dealing with your body goals FLATLINING or going backwards 3️⃣ What BRYN has learnt in 2018 about himself from a body transformation perspective 4️⃣ ACCEPTING and managing/leveraging your traits is the trick to keeping with you goal - E.g. need for External Accountability, Outsourcing Planning, Novelty seeking, Consistency issues 5️⃣ Is your WHY strong enough to do what it takes over the long term? And do you REALLY want what you say want? 6️⃣ The difference between a GOAL & a crystal clear VISION 7️⃣ Why after newbie gains, OVERSIZING your body is the most difficult aspect of body transformation. Wise people with good but not great bodies... 8️⃣ The need to EXPAND your WHY beyond the body outcome for long-term adaptation - the process, progress, emotional, mental, physical benefits 9️⃣ STEVE'S honest & raw assessment progress towards his 2 year body goal set in Jan 2018

Every single one of us is on our own journey, but much of where we wind up depends on the choices we make. Scott recently had the opportunity to speak at the Rocky Mountain Resellers conference and was able to share his story and inspire many people to take action and move forward with their business ideas.This episode is the audio version of Scott’s keynote presentation from that event and you’re going to hear his story of moving into the Amazon sales platform and all the experiences that built his determination muscles to get there. You’ll find a lot of great information to help you get going (or keep going) on your journey, so be sure to listen. Figure out your Why, What, and How. There are three key components of any business success. Without these three you’re going to fail at some point along the line, so be sure you pay close attention to what Scott has to share here. The “why” has to do with the reasons behind building a business. If your “why” is not strong enough you’ll give up when things get tough. Your “what” is the clear end-goal you have in mind, the thing(s) you want to accomplish. The “how” is the plan you come up with to make the “what” happen. If you don’t get all three of these clear, you won’t make it in business. Get your WHY clear and nothing will stop you. Simon Senek is well known now for his insightful book, “Start With Why.” It enables leaders - and those building their own business - to understand the importance of the reasons their business/organization is in existence. Scott believes in the power of understanding your why to keep you moving in your business building journey. What is your reason for building a business? It’s about more than simply making money… that’s not specific enough. Figure out your “why” and you’ll figure out the thing that will keep you going when the difficulties come (and they WILL come). After your WHY is in place, you can move on to the WHAT. Getting clear on WHAT you are going to do enables you to remain focused. It’s your end goal, the thing you’re trying to accomplish overall so that your WHY becomes a reality. When you work on your WHAT you need to do your homework. There’s nothing about this part that comes easy, nothing about it that will magically happen. The information is out there, you simply have to go out and find it so you can make informed decisions and smart choices. Don’t go by hunches or feelings, research it and find the WHAT that will fit you and enable your WHY to come to pass. Take action to make it a reality. Once you get your WHY clear and your WHAT figured out, you’re going to have to do something with it. You’ve got to have a plan that you’re going to follow to make them happen. That’s where the HOW comes in. It’s about taking action, putting in the work that makes success happen. Nobody got to any pinnacle of success by accident. There’s lots of hard work in the back story and you are going to have to pay your own dues as well. Take action. It’s one of Scott’s main mantras that you hear over and over. And there’s a reason for that. It’s vitally important. OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE OF THE AMAZING SELLER [0:03] Scott’s introduction to the episode!
