040 | Amy Selbach and Overcoming 300 NO’s in ONE Year

Amy Selbach is a brand and sales strategist, entrepreneur and mother to a toddler (her favorite role of all). She has traveled to over 65 countries for both work and play, usually a combo.  She started negotiating at 2 years-old (later bedtimes and more snacks) and ended up selling millions of dollars in sponsorship deals to international governments and CEOs.

She has lived and worked in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Europe devising marketing and communications brand strategies for both countries and companies from non-profits to Fortune 500s.

Have you ever had to tell a potential client or customer NO? Does the thought of it have you biting your nails?

Don’t fret! In this episode, Amy Selbach shares her experiences with her first sales job.

Amy traveled all over the world, pitching big important people, hearing NO after NO (over 300 in one year), but, yet her most devastating NO was when she had to tell her clients, customers and employees NO.

When your clients and customers hear NO from you, their reaction might be a little different then what you’d expect. Many times you might experience some serious blow back!

This episode is a MUST LISTEN if you’ve ever wondered how you’re going to tell a prospect NO!
