You've been rejected by a major prospect. How can you bounce back and close the next deal?

Use rejection as a learning opportunity. Analyze what went wrong and adapt your approach accordingly. Reframe setbacks as stepping stones to success, fueling determination. Cultivate resilience by focusing on actionable strategies rather than dwelling on failure. Build stronger relationships with prospects through personalized communication and value-driven propositions. Keep pursuing opportunities with confidence and persistence.

Rejection is a gift. It means that your message did resonate with your prospect and did not fall in the abyss of darkness that ghosting often brings. Rejection means you did many things right yet this is probably: 1/ Not the right time 2/ Your prospect is just not the right client for you 3/ There is a gap in perceptions 4/ and many more... So dust yourself off and just go on.

Never take rejections personally and avoid getting emotionally attached. Even if you believe losing a client was your fault, sometimes it's just not the right time.

There's a very good reason why rejection stings. From a neuroscience perspective, when someone rejects your offer/proposal, it feels like they are rejecting you personally. Our brains are wired for connection because historically (or prehistorically) being rejected/ejected from the tribe meant almost certain death. That's why it hurts so much, our emotional centres of the brain thinks we're being thrown out of the tribe and it's a matter of life and death. The best thing you can do is get your thinking part of the brain back online by reframing the rejection as "it's not the end of the world, they're not rejecting me personally, they just said no to the offer, so if I figure out why, I can improve my chances of getting a yes next time."

Based on your analysis, identify any areas in your sales pitch, product knowledge, or qualification process that need improvement.

Receiving a rejection from a major prospect can be disheartening, but it's essential to analyze the situation objectively to understand why the rejection occurred. Ask yourself these questions: Did I fully understand the prospect's needs and concerns? Was I able to effectively communicate the value proposition of our product or service? Did I build a strong rapport and trust with the prospect? Were there any specific objections or barriers that I could have addressed better? By critically evaluating these aspects, you can identify areas for improvement and adjust your approach for future interactions.

Very important to eliminate your biases here. It is easy to blame marketing or product for note managing to sell. Or to blame the price to be too high. The underlying reason might be more hidden than the obvious "we don't have this feature" or "we were too expensive"

Haber tomado notas durante todo el proceso con el prospecto es crucial para poder determinar con claridad cuál fue la o las razones por las que llegamos al punto de rechazo.

Facing rejection from a major prospect can be disheartening, but it’s essential to bounce back and learn from the experience. Here are some steps you can take to recover and increase your chances of closing the next deal: Analyze the Situation: Take a step back and objectively analyze what went wrong.

After analyzing the rejection, it's crucial to refocus your efforts on your sales pipeline. Here's how: Review your existing leads and opportunities: Look for prospects who have shown interest or engagement with your offerings. Prioritize these leads based on their potential value and likelihood of conversion. Nurture relationships: Invest time in building and maintaining relationships with prospects, even if they haven't shown immediate interest. Engage them with valuable content, follow-up calls, or personalized messages to keep your brand top-of-mind. Expand your prospect pool: Don't dwell on the rejection; instead, broaden your horizon by seeking new prospects and opportunities.

I remember pitching to a major prospect, pouring my heart and soul into the presentation, only to face rejection. It felt like a punch in the gut. I found myself questioning everything from my approach to my abilities. But you know what? That rejection became my catalyst for growth.

Three things to bear in mind. #1. Rejection does not define you. How you handle the rejection defines you. #2. Opportunity Analysis. Take objective stock of why the prospect went in a different direction. Typically, it has to do with "best fit." Why were you a best fit? Why were you not a best fit? What can you do differently next time? Be objective about this or get a coach who will help you keep it real. #3. Robust Pipeline. Building a robust pipeline of opportunities with major prospects takes the sting out of any single loss. Just like a prospect, you are looking for a best fit. The sooner you move on from rejection, the sooner you'll find and win with a prospect where the two of you are the perfect fit for each other.

Otra opción que te sugiero es: Pide ayuda. Acércate a esos colegas que en tu equipo les está yendo mejor. Pídeles ayuda. Pregúntales ?Qué y cómo es lo que hacen? No tengas miedo. Deja el ego. Recuerda también ayudar cuando alguien nuevo llegue al equipo. Tenemos que formar el carácter no solo con palabras. No solo con conceptos o herramientas de IA. El carácter no se educa solo con palabras. Se forma con hechos. Hay que saber aguantar y fracasar para obtener carácter. Las teorías suenan bonitas. Hay que aplicar hechos. El talento se forma se construye en la calma. El carácter en la tempestad.

Je me suis rendu compte, et principalement auprès des grands-comptes, que j'avais peu de chance d'être consulté sur un projet tant que je ne m'étais pas fait 'jeté' une première fois. Et bien souvent, la personne qui m'a jeté est devenue l'un de mes partisans dans le compte en question. ??
