How do you handle rejection?

Florists must deal with rejection from time to time as creative business people.

Yet, one of the toughest things every floralpreneur® must face is rejection.

It’s simply a fact of life. You take the good, you take the bad, you take ’em both and there you have…wait, where was I? Oh yeah, rejection.

I bet every floral designer can relate to today’s video.  I hope it provides some perspective the next time you get re-jected.

Thanks for taking a few minutes to watch!

Oh, and make sure you scroll down to grab a free e-mail template below!

Sometimes it’s good to get rejected.

If losing a wedding or not booking a client leaves you feeling blue, remember that sometimes rejection is actually a GOOD thing! Yes, I mean it.


Pro tip: If you don’t book a job, don’t sweat it. However, don’t sit back and “do nothing” either. If you REALLY want to know why someone didn’t choose to work with you, Ask them why they did not book you! 


FREE BONUS: Grab my FREE E-mail Template HERE to see “how I ask clients why they did not pick me!”

We can gain valuable insights as to why clients“didn’t get to a yes“, if we’re brave enough to ask. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​


Testimonial:

“Alison, Your email templates came at just the right time!  I have referenced them 3 times and have already booked a new event! 

I have never taken a client from initial consult to contract/payment received so fast!! Thanks!”

-Jessie


Templates=Time

I bring you behind the scenes of my business in my downloadable templates for florists.

  • In Proposals That Sell I teach florists how I spend less time typing proposals, so that I’m not giving away too much information and the turnaround time on bookings is faster.
  • In E-mail Templates for Florists I show you how I choreograph the customer service experience & handle difficult conversations with 2 sets of templates.

If you’re ready to spend less time typing and worrying what to say, I’ve got you covered.

Thanks for your questions & feedback.

Please feel free to be in touch if you ever have any questions for me. info@floralartvt.com
With love from me to you,
Alison
