Handling Rejection From The Top of The Pyramid
Manage episode 487907670 series 3627205
In this episode of The Velvet Rope Playbook, we’re telling the story every ambitious professional needs to hear:
Sometimes a rejection isn’t a door slamming shut. It’s a sign you’re one room away.
Meet Daniel Reyes, a sharp luxury consultant who landed a dream meeting with the managing partner of a billion-dollar hospitality group.
He was polished.
He was prepared.
He delivered like a pro.
And still—the answer was no.
No second meeting.
No polite follow-up.
Just a handshake and a pass.
Daniel flew home thinking he’d failed.
But what actually happened?
That no redirected his entire career—and within 18 months, he was consulting for a direct competitor of the firm that turned him down.
Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why affluent clients sometimes say no even when they’re impressed
- How to reframe rejection at the top of the market as a sign of proximity
- What emotional resilience looks like at the high-ticket level
