The Difference Been "No" & "Not Today"
First, take a deep breath. I know losing out on the job feels like they said, "no," to you personally. But, what they really said was, "not today," to your business-of-one. They simply picked another service provider they thought was a better fit for their needs. It doesn't mean they don't like what you're offering, nor does it mean they'll never use your services. In fact, let's look at what you've accomplished:
A) You beat out hundreds of candidates and got the initial interview.
B) You nailed the first interview and made it to the final two.
C) You were told they loved your passion for their company.
This is what any good salesperson dreams of making happen with a potential client. It's the foundation of what can be a long and fruitful relationship, but only if you take the next step.[收起]
