2 ways to deal with a “no”
You could contact the company that turned you down and explain that they have made a horrible mistake, their wrong choice will lead to terrifying consequences. You could criticise the vendor they actually selected, bring You could even question the judgement of the leader and try to teach them to make better decisions in the future. Explain a fair system that will be highly beneficial for the company who turned you down as well as you.
Or
You could be more gracious than you getting the deal. You could send a thank you note for the time invested and you could sing praises of the competitors. ‘Based on the criteria you set up, it’s clear that you have made the right choice for your organisation right now’. It doesn’t mean they are right, but you don’t need to act like a lunatic and attached others. You could even outline what you have learnt in the process and how you are going to improve. You can also make it clear to them that you are in it for more than just a sale, and you will be there when they need you.
So. 2 questions for you:
1. Which one will make you more likely to invite back, or to be the backup if the first choice fails?
And
2. Which one will increase your word of moth at the same time as it improves how you feel about your company?
It’s really a no brainer, I think. But how come so many pick the first option?
