The Power of Saying No to Customers

It Might Feel Uncomfortable to Say “No"…

But … it can actually be the key to unlocking growth in your business.

The numbers don’t lie.

Studies reveal that 60% of successful entrepreneurs believe that picking the right opportunities — and saying no to the wrong ones — was a turning point in their success.

Take a look at this:

Of 500 entrepreneurs who were asked to what do those entrepreneurs attribute their success?

These entrepreneurs said that they grew their business 20 to 30% the following year as a result of getting a handle on time management and productivity. While they attribute 70% of their success to being able to say no.

Through focusing on the right partnerships, they were able to throw all of their resources behind what actually provided them with value.

Try this...

The next time an opportunity presents itself for you to start something new, pause.

Ask yourself, “Is this something that will give results with my long-term goals? Is it moving me forward, or holding me back?”

Then, if it doesn’t, be courageous enough to say no.

It’s not about not taking business.

It's about guarding your time, energy and focus.

Remember:

Saying “No,” cuts through all the noise and gives you time for what really matters.

NO: You can save precious resources from being flushed down the wrong opportunities.

Everytime you say “No” you say “Yes” to doing things that are ACTUALLY going to move your business forward.

So, now I want to know: Are you saying No enough to the wrong opportunities?
