There's always gonna be tough sellers out there. I like to make it a game for myself. So every tough seller I think of as a boss. Can I beat the boss? Can I beat the boss and make it to the next level? So instead of shying away from those people that are a little more difficult, I try to gamify it and look at it as like a challenge. Can I beat this boss? Can I make it to the next level?
