Why? Because you get rejected, Founder & CEO far too many times. And trustme, nobody likes being Investography Pvt. Ltd. rejected. When I experience rejection,people tell me how Jack Ma got rejected and how someone elsewho is famous now, got rejected. Not what I want to hear at all! So,what should you do when you get rejected? Stop trying, so that youdon’t get rejected anymore? Or let it not affect you? My answer, both. When you get rejected, you get feedback. What are you going to with that feedback, is up to you. You could either scorn or take it in your stride or just ignore. I do, all three- depending on who has given the feedback, how it was given and what was the intent behind it. If it was given constructively, I can work on it, if it was given cruelly - to put me down- I ignore it and if it was given just to refuse what I was offering, I take it in my stride and move on. You will need to do 2 things: Know your beliefs Communicate what you believe in If a person Is going to become your customer, it should be someone who knows what you believe in and he should be inspired by it. For example: If you believe that investments do well in the long term and that equities in the short term will be volatile- he will also believe it. This way, you will not focus on people who aren’t aligned with yours. If you think that the prospect needs this to succeed in their life, ensure that you communicate it well so that while they may not believe it at first, they know your conviction in it and encourage a healthy dialogue around it, which by itself is a big win. Prospecting is an art and math. It is know- ing how to connect with people, on what matters to them. It helps if you’re authentic, it helps if you have something in common with the prospect so that the trust building process is faster.

The information contained herein is solely for private circulation for reading/understanding of registered Advisors/Distributors and should not be circulated to investors/prospective investors. Tarakki Insights 7TARAKKI TIMES, JANUARY 2019 SEGMENTING: T he only successful way to prospect- know your product, know yourself and whom you enjoy connecting with. If you enjoy connecting with young people who just started working because you are young too- do that. You will only succeed at prospecting if it is something that you absolutely enjoy doing or talking about. For example, if you like Bolly- wood movies, you will enjoy spending time with someone who also enjoys Bollywood movies. So, irrespective of whether he becomes your customer or not, you will feel good at the end of the meeting. So, think of every meeting as one where you have to find atleast something common with your prospect. Life stage, movie, sport, travel- I’m sure you will find something. Ask first, don’t offer your answers. The idea is to get to know them; while we all like talking about ourselves, offering to listen rather than speak here goes a long way. Sellers talk, Advisors listen. You are establishing trust every second you listen to him and ask more questions about him/ his interest rather than talk about yourself. Be authentic with whatever information you provide because that I have learnt is the only way to build long term relationships- on and off business. Business, people say isn’t personal; but I have learnt that there is noth- ing more personal than business. Prospecting is also Math. It is a numbers game. The more number of people you talk to, the faster you get to your golden number. Suppose your strike rate in prospect- ing is 1:70. Reach the 70th prospect fast so that you have your Win! So, take each prospect who says No, as a stepping stone to the 70th one. Focus on the Win, rather than the Loss. Although prospecting can be painful, let me assure you there are far more painful things in business ;) Shweta Jain Founder +91 9880 511 320 www.investography.in IndiQube at The Leela Palace - 4th Floor, Bengaluru
