On this episode of the Find My Catalyst Podcast, Mike is joined by Andrea Waltz. Andrea is the Co-Author of Go for No, and Co-Founder of Courage Crafters, Inc.

In this episode, they discuss how yes is the destination, no is how you get there. 

Key Takeaways:

  • How do you think about no?
    • Can you value a no? If so, how?
    • Can you turn a no into a yes?
    • How persistent should you be?
    • Where does courage come in?
    • How does fear play a role?
  • Rejection affects everyone.
  • Go for “no’s” in order to get to the yes.
  • Use what you know to get better.
  • Determine how to go about it differently.
  • Getting “no’s” early seems to be a characteristic of top sales people. They want those out of their pipeline. 
  • Give yourself permission to fail.
  • No’s teach you things if you’re paying attention.
  • Look around and assess where you are. Create a “no” awareness. Set a no goal. Have the courage to execute.
  • A go for no moment is anytime you have the opportunity to ask.
