When They Say No... Then What?

Richard Fenton and Andrea Waltz have been encouraging, coaching, and teaching people to intentionally go for no to get to “YES” for over two decades. Finally, in this long-awaited follow-up to their ground-breaking first book, they examine exactly what should happen when it comes to hearing “no” in sales.

• What should you think when you get it?

• What should you say when you get it?

Transformation Moment

This book is a must-read for anyone in sales or a market that might lead to a lot of "No" before getting that first "Yes". It helps you gain a better understanding that No. It isn't always what it sounds like and allows you to dig deeper.

This is an excellent follow-up of "Go for No". Richard and Andrea have given an abundance of options depending on circumstance for how to handle the "No" that we should be striving for.
