445: When should we accept “No”

Zig tells his personal story of being rejected for his first sales position. When he finally got hired, he spent two and a half years…failing. Why did he keep pursuing this sales job when he was told he wasn’t qualified, he didn’t have any affinity for the product, and ultimately he proved them right by doing a poor job. Why did he continue? At face value, it’s hard to see that it was wise. We listen in, and then unpack it a bit. Thanks to Braintree for their support of this episode. Learn more about your ad choices.
