I'm learning something that I'm sure folks with a sales background already know how to do - let things roll off your back. The difference I think, is when you're selling something that is literally your own blood, sweat, and tears (not to mention your creative energy) versus selling something that "the company" creates.
I have to admit that I'm getting better at hearing "thanks but no thanks" because I know that it's simply part of the game and that there are a myriad of reasons why a company may not be interested in our products. Even though rationally I know that, there's still that little stab of disappointment every time and just for a moment or two I take it personally.
And then I suck it up and make another call. I guess you win some and you loss some, right? Cause that's the way the game is played.
