The Day I Got Rejected... And It Was the Best Thing Ever Let me tell you something you don’t hear often: Getting rejected in sales can actually be the best thing for your business. Wait, hear me out! 🙃 Here’s how it went down: -I had a pitch ready. -I researched. -I practiced my delivery. -I was ready to close the deal. And then... I got rejected. At first, I was crushed. But then, something amazing happened. That rejection made me reflect on why the client said no. What could I improve? What was I missing? Instead of sulking, I: 1️⃣ Reach out for feedback. I wanted to know what didn’t resonate with them. 2️⃣ Refined my pitch. Rejection showed me where I could improve my value proposition. 3️⃣ Tried again—but this time, with more confidence, knowledge, and a better solution. And guess what? A few weeks later, that same client reached out to me, asking if I could help with a new project! 🚀 Moral of the story: Rejection isn’t a dead end. Every "no" is a chance to learn and grow.

A few weeks ago, I applied for the Y Combinator Summer Fellowship. I was late to the game — but I still decided to give it a shot. Two days ago, I received the email. It was a rejection. For a moment, it stung. I had imagined what a ‘yes’ could unl
