- ▸ Avoid saying "Okay lang yan, basta may effort" without showing a strategy. Instead, explain how you will learn from each rejection and keep improving.
- ▸ A common mistake is to say "Wala lang, gusto ko lang mag-sales kasi walang choice" or downplaying ambition. Instead, explain your genuine interest in helping clients secure their future.
