In this episode, Jennie, Cheddy, and Michelle discuss:

The art of accepting “no”
Categorizing your “people to reach out list” in direct sales business
Closing a sale
The importance of having a coach

Key Takeaways:

Hearing “no” and experiencing losses in business is normal. It’s all part of the adventure and journey. What matters is that you show up and be the greatest version of yourself at the time, as well as being present in the situation. And a “no” is not always a final notice, sometimes it’s really a “not now”.
The three types of people to contact in business are those who will surely say “no,” those who will say “maybe,” and those who will say “yes.” Begin with the no list. If you get that many no’s in the beginning, they have less of an effect on you because you’ve had them in the beginning.
Closing a sale is more of a commitment than a close. If you have a service, a product, or anything else that will bring value to someone’s life, you owe it to them to share it with those who might benefit from it.
Business is not a destination; it is a consistent journey. Coaches will help you stay focused and helps you stay aligned.

“If you try to force things on people, the force meets forces – it kind of repels. But if you do what you did, you open the opportunity for them to see the opportunity and walk into that thing.” – Cheddy Matthews
