Ouch!
“Garbage” that’s what the email said. There was more, but this is a family blog.
I received that email in response to a domain name I was selling – a domain I thought was good. Not premium, but still okay. And looking at comparable sales of similar domains, it was priced accordingly.
I don’t want to get into the intricacies of domain name sales, because one man’s gold is another man’s….”garbage”. The point is I can’t let this one person’s view bring me down.
Sales is like that. You need a tough skin to get through the “no’s” to get to the “yes”. And business is all about sales – matching that product with the person who needs it and thinks it is gold.
There are a thousand reasons to push on – to not take the “no’s” personally. This person’s response to my offer is not aimed at me, it’s just they weren’t a match for the product (and were maybe feeling a bit grumpy that day).
To put bread on the table, you need to sell something, whether it’s your product, your services or your own brand. Keep at it – don’t give up. And if you find yourself struggling, learn how to sell. There are plenty of good resources online or at the local library. Business is all about sales, and learning how to sell is one of the most important skills you will ever need for your business to succeed.
