Sales is one of the very few professions that has a high degree of rejection built into it. Even the best B2B teams in the world are going to meet failure in a significant proportion of the opportunities in their pipelines.
How do we as individuals cope with this? How do we respond when the other side says, ‘no thanks we’re going with the other people’. A reasonable start might be to follow the old adage of, ‘Plan for the best prepare for the worst.’
There are at least three levels we need to look at to address this topic.
We will work through all three of these, and a few more ideas in this short podcast.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
