EMBRACE THE 100 REJECTIONS

Embrace the 100 Rejections: Why Aiming High Fuels Business Development Success 

Business development can feel like a constant uphill battle. You craft the perfect pitch, meticulously research potential clients, and then… silence. Or worse, rejection. It just sucks! But here's a counterintuitive idea: aim for 100 rejections a year. 

As the saying goes, "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take," and the same applies to business development. Rejection, while initially disheartening, is an inevitable part of the game. Yperia Group believes that aiming for 100 rejections can actually be a powerful strategy for unlocking long-term success. Here's why: 

1. Rejections Signal Progress, Not Failure: 

Each "no" means you're actively putting yourself out there, exploring new opportunities, and honing your approach. A high number of rejections indicates a high volume of outreach, which in turn translates to increased visibility and potential for success. 

2. Rejections Offer Valuable Lessons: 

Every rejection holds a hidden gem: feedback. Learn from each "no." Was it your pitch? The timing? Maybe the prospect wasn't a good fit after all. Analyzing rejections helps you refine your strategy and identify areas for improvement. 

3. Rejections Build Resilience: 

The more comfortable you become with rejection, the less it stings. Aiming for 100 rejections forces you to face potential setbacks head-on, building a thicker skin and a more persistent mindset.
