Rejection comes with the territory. Pitching articles, pitching stories for clients, pitching your services, pitching programs ---- not everything is for everybody. The best "training" I ever received (though I hated it at the time) was SALES training. It was my first job out of college. I will tell anyone to get formal sales training. It will help you get over rejection quickly...and not take it personally. The "turn around" perspective you mentioned in this post is RIGHT ON. Realize what's right - and why someone said "no" is key to lasting in any industry.
