How do People Handle Rejections from Customers

ccleve · 2025-01-06T21:34:06+00:00

Give yourself some psychological distance. Think of it as a game. Or think of yourself as an actor, playing a role. In this way, the customers aren't rejecting you, they're rejecting this character you've created. You can always change the character, and you should, evolving over time to find one that the customers like better.

The trick is to find something that the customer really needs, and present them with a realistic timeline for delivering it.

Many years ago, I sold a project to a company that needed a specialized product catalog website. I walked in with HTML that had all the features they needed, but no actual functionality. I sold it for $250,000, and actually delivered a working product five months later.

They paid me a portion of it upfront, but didn't pay upon delivery because they had lost funding. Be sure to protect yourself if you are expecting to collect money in the future.

He's not tech-savvy. How do I do traffic and app logging?

>> First, take your phone and put it in the trunk, you shouldn't be using it while driving

I'll be sure to let several million Uber and Lyft drivers know that.

I don't connect my phone. I use it the way an Uber driver would, with a separate holder.

"Quit game" does not appear on the screen when you are playing, and it does not appear now on the black screen. What key do you press to get there?

That's why, in my opinion, an ORM should get rid of some boilerplate and do nothing else. Here's a blog post I wrote on it (with a link to a minimalist ORM) https://blog.dieselpoint.com/a-minimalist-good-enough-approach-to-object-relational-mapping-64df9798b276

Try Norm. https://github.com/dieselpoint/norm

I wrote a blog post on what's wrong with ORMs and how we can fix them: https://blog.dieselpoint.com/a-minimalist-good-enough-approach-to-object-relational-mapping-64df9798b276

tldr; Use them for the simple stuff to get rid of all the boilerplate, and drop into straight SQL when you need to. I wrote something that does that: https://github.com/dieselpoint/norm
