Counting to "n"

About two years ago I attended a sales training and not a lot of information remained in my mind since then, but a thing about sales and motivation of sales people definitely did (it is not exactly the quote but it is the general idea):

"You called/had a sales meeting once and the answer was no. You called/had a second sales meeting and the answer was no. You called/had a third sales meeting and the answer was no... think that until 100 there is a long way, and be prepared to get 99 "NOs", because the 100th will be a "YES"."

I want to think that 100 can be replaced by "n" and that "n" is 99,(9)% of the times much "<100".

Not all the times when you got a "NO" is the end of the world... you are just one step closer to YOUR "YES".

Moru

p.s.: special dedication to the part of THE TEAM that is not matched YET
