Reframe a Rejected Commission as a Positioning Clarification
The commission was rejected and the feedback was vague or non-existent. The frustrating part is that you do not know if it was the work, the price, the process, or just a mismatch. This analyses what the rejection is actually communicating about how you present yourself to clients, and gives you one concrete thing to change before the next enquiry.
