Answer this question by providing examples of your ability to handle rejection. Mention that you always remaining calm, collected and professional at all times. Lastly, provide an example of a situation reflecting your ability to handle a customer who had no interest in your products/services.

"I am unfazed by rejection and always remain calm and professional as I must ensure to adequately represent the company at all times. I calmly listen to the customer, take his/her objections into consideration which will serve me with future customers, and then do my very best to provide the advantages of my products/services. Should the customer remain uninterested, I would request a follow up with the customer at a later date, in the event he/she would have no reservations against it. An example of a situation with a difficult customer is (X situation) when working as (X position title) for (X company). (.... X details regarding the situation and how you respectfully and successfully handled the situation)."
