One of the best sales people I know once told me, "They either convince you they don't need your product or you convince them they can't live without it." I think about that every time I get rejected to make sure I never get convinced :-)

- ancornwell 16y agoBoiler Room is one of my favs. Even though Glengarry Glen Ross was relatively boring, I like this line: "It takes brass balls to sell real estate." Then he turns around and he is holding brass balls. A-B-C is the best pitch ever in a movie, after greed is good of course. If you want a great example of how to deal with rejection, come to Haight Ashbury and watch the homeless people ask for change. Sometimes if they have a good enough pitch, I'll give them a dollar. There was one guy giving "bad advice" and he told me to give him my credit card and to have unprotected sex with an intravenous drug user. I gave him a dollar.
