Todayβs issue is brought to you by SafetyWing.
Let's dive into the ultimate secret for rocking your pitches and scoring those dreamy travel brand collaborations. π€π
Ready for it?
It's all about being CONSISTENT! ππ₯
Yep, that's the key to opening doors and making magic happen in this industry. When it comes to pitching, there's something important you need to remember: you're likely to hear "no" quite a bit. π ββοΈπ’
But guess what?
That's totally okay! π
Why?
Because you don't need a "yes" from every pitch. You just need that one precious "YES" to kickstart your journey to success! π πΌ
Landing your first sponsorship or paid partnership takes just one "yes" to set things in motion. ππ€
So, instead of getting discouraged by the "no's," embrace them as stepping stones on your path to victory. π€οΈπ
Remember, it's not a game of just chasing "yes" responses.
It's a numbers game!
Cast that net wide, reel in those opportunities, and make waves with your consistent pitching efforts. π£π―
Once you grasp this mindset, the creator lifestyle will become a breeze. π¨β‘
So keep those pitches going, and watch the doors swing open to fantastic opportunities! πͺπ
And this is exactly why I teach my students how to turn pitching into a habit during my themed monthly pitch challengesβ¦
