A short YouTube monologue by Eric Deeran (Master Filmmaker) about handling frequent rejection in business sales. The speaker argues that higher activity leads to more rejection (example: booking 10–40 calls/day with a 30–40% close rate, implying ~60% say no) and advises separating rejection from personal worth because taking it personally hinders progress.

Questions this video answers

"10, 20, 30, 40 calls a day" (range examples: 10–40 calls/day).

"30 to 40%" (close rate of 30–40%).

"the other 60% of those calls" (about 60% rejection).

Chapters

Our team and our company and our businesses probably face more rejection on a daily basis than you will in an entire couple of months. I said, that's just the game when you get to a higher level. And I don't say that to be like an ego brag or whatever. I just say that to say, like, you will face more rejection the higher up you go. Because if you're booking, you know, 10, 20, 30, 40 calls a day, you know, you're probably only going to close 30 to 40% of those. So the other 60% of those calls statistically, are going to tell you no. Those clients are going to tell you no. They're not going to work with you. You're going to face rejection. I said, you have to separate it from yourself personally, and you can't take it personally. And for a very long time, I did take it personally.
