Make the Ask, Respect the No | Andrea Waltz
Asking for a sale, referral, review, collaboration, or introduction can feel uncomfortable—especially when you are building a business without bro hustle. In episode 337 of the Female Founder Momentum series, Kandas Rodarte talks with Andrea Waltz, co-author of Go For No, about a more human way to approach visibility and business growth: make a clear, respectful ask, let people choose, learn from the response, and do not give yourself the no before they have the chance to answer. They talk about why a “no” is information rather than a judgment of your work or worth, how to follow up without being pushy, and why momentum often comes from small, repeated actions long before the results are obvious. You’ll hear about: Reframing rejection as feedback and useful business data Making ethical asks without pressure or manipulation Why people are not numbers, even when you need consistent outreach The difference between persistence and pushing How small experiments help you improve your marketing The Nike footwear story: why several respectful “no” responses can eventually lead to a yes Building sustainable business growth when you have limited time, energy, and bandwidth This episode is for Gen X women solopreneurs, creative business owners, consultants, and community builders who want to market their work clearly, build confidence in asking, and grow a business that fits their real life. Ask clearly. Respect the answer. Keep going.
