Football is not love and the same emotions dont apply.So you ask a lady out, she flat out rejects you for a bloke with more money. He gets bored of her after a couple of years.
Do you:
a. Go back to her running like a spineless wuss begging for a date?
b. Forget she ever existed and sit back and laugh as she now begs any bloke that will take her out for a date to knock on her door?
A better analogy is so you want to partner with a key and very good distributor to further your business. He gets a better offer from another company and he rejects you and working with you. However, the other company decides to work with someone else, and your business is still badly in need of a good distributor.
Do you:
A. Get over the previous rejection and partner with the distributor, knowing you will greatly increase revenue and profits?
B. Act like a petulant child and say "NO, we refuse to work with this company whos really good at what they do"?
