Your First Year as a Buyer’s Agent Will Break You, Unless You Learn This One Truth About Rejection

Ben Handler | Founder of Buyer's Agent Institute

Your first year as a buyer's agent will break you.

Not because of the work. 

Because of the rejection.

Here’s what I mean…

 Most new agents don't fail because they lack skill.

They fail because a few early rejections convince them they're not cut out for it.

I did the same thing.

Every ghosted call. Every ignored message.  

Every "not interested" made me feel like I wasn't good enough.

But here's what I didn't understand: Rejection isn't personal. 

It's math. You can't control when someone says yes.

You can only control how many times you ask.

Think of it like flipping a coin.

You don't get upset when it lands on tails. You just flip again.

The buyer's agents who succeed understand this: Every "no" is part of the process that leads to a "yes."

Once I stopped tying my identity to each interaction and focused on volume, rejection lost its power.

It stopped feeling like failure. 

It started feeling like progress.

Don't let it stop you.
