Episode 53 - The 4 reasons why someone says no to you or

…your work

As a coach, I have a lot of conversations with my clients about the offerings that they’re putting out into the world. It is so exciting launching something new, running another round of a program or opening up a new way for someone to work with you, but how do you handle the inevitable rejection?

You can feel like you’re doing all the right things and It can be a real hit to the ego when your offer or service is met with a “no”. 

I want to remind you that there are a number of reasons why someone might say no, and it’s totally okay. The four reasons I mention in today’s episode are:

1. They don't see the value. This could be because they don't fully understand your work, or because it doesn't align with their priorities.
   
   If this is the case, it's important to try and clearly communicate the value of your work and how it can benefit the person you're trying to work with.

2.  No connection to you. If you don't know the person well, they can’t connect with you on social media or if you have different professional or personal interests, it might be difficult to get them on board with what you have to offer. They have to feel like they can relate to you in some way.

3. The timing isn't right. The person you're trying to work with might be too busy with other commitments, or there might be other factors that make it difficult for them to work with you at the moment. In this case, it might be helpful to try and find out where they’re at and follow up with them next time you’re running the offer or program.

4. It's just a no. Sometimes, people say no for no particular reason. It can be frustrating, but it's important to remember that everyone has their own priorities and motivations, and it's not always possible to understand why someone might not want to work with you.

   This is totally okay. Not everyone is going to be a yes!

Just because someone says no doesn't mean you're doing something wrong. It could be one of the four reasons I mentioned in today’s episode, or something else entirely. The important thing is to keep an open mind and try to understand where the other person is coming from.

Check in with your ego, and keep going.

Your people are out there and if you’re consistent, they’ll find you.
