The worst part about being rejected isnāt getting rejected.
Itās what you do after.
You replay the conversation in your head and think about all the things you could have said differently.
You wonder whether you asked for too much money, whether you came across as too timid, or whether you just sounded like a complete asshat.
And then, based on those pesky voices who just wonāt shut it, you start changing the way you do things.
Maybe you lower your price or rewrite your pitch or work with less confidence than you used to have. Whatever it is, you change your entire approach.
All based solely on the reason they gave you when they said āno.ā
Hereās the problem: That might not be the real reason.
Maybe they turned you down because of a limited budget, but in reality, they didnāt think you were worth the money.
Maybe they said you werenāt the right fit, but actually, they just donāt like you.
Or maybe they told you the truth.
You donāt know the reason for the no. And thatās why itās so hard to learn the right lesson from rejections.
Most people donāt enjoy telling someone why they really rejected them. Because itās usually uncomfortable. And embarrassing.
Itās so much easier to give an answer that doesnāt hurt anyoneās feelings.
Iāve been on both sides of these conversations. Iāve been rejected a lot of times, and Iāve had to reject a lot of people a lot of times.
And I can say, for a fact, that what is being thought isnāt always what gets said.
Which got me thinking.
What if you could go back and have that conversation again?
Except this time, the person who rejected you had absolutely nothing to lose by telling you what they really thought.
Thatās why I built this AI prompt.
It asks you 6 questions about what happened. Then it pretends to be the person who rejected you.
You get to question them. Push back. Find out where things might went wrong.
And when youāre ready, you can ask the AI to stop playing that person and tell you what you maybe want to learn from the experience.
Will it know exactly what the other person was thinking? Of course not. Donāt be silly. But I use it, and every single time it gets me to think in ways I didnāt think before.
This prompt will help you recognize something you havenāt already recognized.
And maybe, just maybe, it can quiet some of those pesky voices in your head.
Run the prompt. Find out why they said no. šš½šš½
