Just lost a deal I've been working on for six months. I knew the client well, we had a great rapport, and I truly believed our solution was a perfect fit. I feel like I didn't just lose a sale, but also a personal connection. How do y'all handle bouncing back from a loss that feels personal, not just professional?

Building up that relationship isn’t something that disappears when the deal falls through. A lot of things can happen that are out of our control. Know that one good experience (even when it didn’t pay off in that moment) can still come back as a good thing down the line.

I am sorry to hear that. I know how much it sucks to lose a deal like that but it happens to the best of us. Hang in there and just keep trucking along.

So sorry!

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with checking in periodically.

Hey OP, how’s it going?
