The Best Kind of "No": Understanding Champagne Rejections
Pop the Cork: Understanding Champagne Rejections
What happens when a 'No' comes with a compliment? Lately, I’ve received three 'Champagne Rejections'—high-tier responses signaling I’ve moved past the slush pile. Whether it’s a personal note or a top-tier form letter, these are the industry’s way of saying: You belong here. Join me to learn how to decode these milestones, distinguish a standard 'no' from a 'champagne' nod, and why these rejections are great news. Learn to turn "no’s" into fuel by identifying the praise that proves your work is nearing a breakthrough. I’ll share my experience and answer your questions on what comes next.
Join me and let's be creative!
