Start thinnking like a winner. A winner visuallizes winning. Winners work hard at winning! A Superstar also knows that in winning a "no" is an okay thing. Start viewing"nos" differnetly.
"No" is not a rejection of you personally. Actually most often a "no" has little to do with you. It has more to do with timing, current agreements, budget, product selection and that changin to new vendors requires commitment and work.
Remember that many "nos" can turn into a "yes" if you ask the question, "Would you mind telling me what lead you to that decision?" You just might be able to negotiate past the reasons why they decided against you.
Superstars don't get depressed or defeated but get to a "yes" or "no" quickly; ask the question above and then move on!
