Waste my time once, shame on you…waste my time twice, shame on me.
So round and round I go on the sponsorship merry go round. I’ve now decided the circus act with this company is haulting to a dead stop because I’m jumping off. I’m so perplexed as to why a company would initiate contact with me to sign with their company if they’re not going to complete the process! A year later, YES A YEAR LATER after I wrote it off the first time they never completed the process, I once again was shown 110% enthusiasm by them to sign me when the saw me take 4th at The Arnold Classic. So, skeptical at first I let my guard down when the owner of Ce&&*@r introduced me to EVERYONE at the company booth, the sponsorship director, marketing director etc. etc. Was asked to please contact her as soon as I got back home to get the process completed (again, the second time). I have to say, the enthusiasm was very convincing and so I complied with the request. Multiple emails to her, one excuse after another or no email replies at all. Three months later, the same situation. It seems ridiculous why a company would not once, but twice initiate contact to want to sponsor me then do nothing. Completely has wasted my time and has been such a distraction in my life and my training. So, waste my time once….shame on you…..waste my time twice, shame on me. I will not fall for this again. I’m looking ahead. I am making the choice………….let it go. Karma will fix it. By this choice, I will walk away with integrity.

Seem like they hooked you as a second choice, not letting you know about their preference. Which is just plain rude, but they may call it "business".

Seems highly unlikely they "hooked me as a second choice" two different times……and frankly, I don’t believe in that just being "business". I believe that is called, "Not knowing how to run a business". You’re not a business if you don’t have etiquette. You’re merely a group of unprofessional people who have a uniform goal to swagger money by any means necessary.
