Can you imagine living in uncertainty?

You’ve chosen this path of sales: it’s a constant roller coaster of uncertainty. Will your investor like your pitch? Will you get a new client? Will the buyer take in your products? Will they say NO, and will you be starting over? Or will they say YES?

The key to success is how you begin dealing with that uncertainty. Will you be crushed any time someone tells you NO, or will you take that NO as a step toward ultimately hearing YES.

This week’s guest on Success Unfiltered, Kendrick Shope appeared on the Steve Harvey show, talking about her upcoming book: “Sell Like a Woman.” She was excited and ready to share her story with the world.

However, since that show aired, 2 years ago, her book has been turned down by many publishers. Not just once. Not just twice. Kendrick has heard NO eleven times!

Entrepreneurs all know that life, being in a sales role 24/7 is the ultimate roller coaster. The uncertainty of preparing and giving a pitch, and waiting for the answer. Learning to be comfortable in the waiting for a YES or a NO that will lead to certainty.

It’s a mindset change: learning to be comfortable with and embrace uncertainty. We hold the key that transforms uncertainty into certainty. It’s our pitch & it’s also our confidence.

Kendrick Shope, says that a NO is simply a light in a dark alley of uncertainty!

If you’re ready to get inspired & take action about living in uncertainty in your journey so that you can push for your best YES, then this episode of Success Unfiltered is a MUST LISTEN!
