Asking for Gum and the Referral

I was recently in a one-to-one and we were chatting about getting “NOs” when asking for the sell or the referral, and that it’s okay to get a “NO”.

Yet, inside that room may be the ideal referral partner, rewarding client, or the perfect solution to a pressing problem. […]
