“For an actor, you’re rejected eight or ten times a day. All you’ve got to sell is yourself. You’re not selling products, they’re not turning down a car, they’re turning you down. Most people can’t handle that. Most people are essentially not set up that way.”
That’s a quote from Barry Corbin, who I mostly think of as Maurice Minnifield on Northern Exposure. His quote reminds me of the sales process in consulting work. I write more about this in my online book, A Survival Guide for New Consultants.
