Do Not Stop at "NO"
Even if a proposal for new business has been rejected, continue the pursuit with the same prospect or client. MAXIMIZING REJECTION is a concept that recognizes the potential customer has a lot invested in you by the nature of the time and study they put in during the selection process.
Stay in touch; send them updates; ask them to be on conference panels with you; remind them how much you can contribute to their business.
Keep yourself in that “CLOSING ZONE,” creating more scoring opportunities for the future.
