048 | Amanda Bond’s White Hot NO

Amanda Bond is the owner of The Ad Strategist and the creator of the StrADedy System. Entrepreneur Magazine calls her a “Facebook advertising genius”, Social Media Examiner named her “the brightest mind in Facebook advertising today” due to her unique mix of creativity and her vast analytical experience from analyzing hundreds of millions of client ad impressions. A fiery personality, Bond mixes education and entertainment in a straight shooting way to show people the right way to do Facebook advertising.

Have you ever experienced a heart-crushing NO? Or, maybe a NO where you felt like crawling into bed for a year?

This week’s guest on Success Unfiltered, Amanda Bond, has too! She’s received a White Hot NO, only she didn’t let it get her down. Instead, Amanda takes the information she’s learned from her NO’s and puts them on a spreadsheet to analyze.

Amanda is a self-proclaimed spreadsheet and data nerd. She takes every NO and places it on a spreadsheet so that she can analyze and learn from them. She wants to figure out what works and what doesn’t, and then implement different sales methods into practice in the future.

Amanda isn’t superhuman, the NO’s do affect her, but she’s learned that it’s important to use your resilience muscle and remind yourself to step back and have a process for reflection.

Give yourself the time and space to feel the feelings from hearing NO, and then once you’ve done that, it’s time to analyze the data!

If you’re ready to stop becoming overwhelmed with every NO, then this episode is a MUST LISTEN!

Enjoy, and thank you for listening and tuning into Success Unfiltered!
