Luke: By reading through your article, it reminds me of my life lowest point, where I have to beg and being scolded by other, when I became a salesperson…

It wasn’t a nice experience at all, but I’m able to get through with it…

Hi Luke,

Both of my children have had to beg for funds in order for them to manage a need for funds for either camp or a school trip to europe, we created campaigns but addressed all the requests for help individually. BOTh campaigns were very successful, even if,as my son stated, “we begged”

Luke,

‘The thrill of begging,’ – I love your contradiction in terms!

Certainly, as a general statement, people do sit up and take notice when they are addressed on an individual basis – they are being addressed as a real person, not just because they are a name on the list.

Wow, that is very interesting. Great point, I think the personal touch in social media is what makes a difference.

Hi Luke, I feel your pain. Sales is somewhat like begging in the respect that you get turned down far more often than you close deals. And, sales – much like begging – confirms the adage that the opposite of love is indifference. There’s nothing quite as depressing as talking into the void. But, when you realize it’s just the way things work, that it’s not to be taken personally, it’s not quite so bad. Good sales people, and I suppose good fundraisers, derive so much pleasure from the occasional “yes” that they forget all about the 100 “no’s”.
