It’s so tough and I agree that silence is worse than a rejection. Especially when you’ve put lots of time into a call or a pitch and then you hear nothing. But, as you say, at least a rejection is honest and direct and we can try to learn from it. I usually try to distract myself with something unrelated and usually 24 hours later it doesn’t feel quite so bad. Onwards we go. We definitely need a 🍸 soon!
LOVE this! I'm currently freelancing alongside my full-time agency role and working in an agency, seeing rejection day in, day out has taught me sooo much - definitely the "it's normally them, not you" viewpoint
It really is <3 Though it’s so easy to take it personally. Especially when we put our heart and souls into pitches and proposals. There’s no big team to hide behind! P.S. I know how hard agency life is — it’s incredible you’re juggling both! xo
