I’ve been working on a few projects underground. Shared with a few focus groups and about 5 mins earlier saw an add for one of them being run by another coy! Here I was amused that someone else was thinking like me, so I called in and asked about their program and the strategy...
...strategy was mine pretty much word for word. Discussed operations & they listed it just as I had it in my drafts! Deployment was also using the same systems I had penned down! What are the odds? Being the me that I am I was giving kudos to the whole ingenuity of their idea...
...till I asked about their roll out plan and they quoted a whole sentence word for word off my playbook! Nooooo! To the first stage contacts and target area! Aii holdup so I asked if it’s cool I know their team lead, and they went quiet. Was like “hello?” then they hung up!
Dialed back no word. Switched phones and dialed back and they picked up. Still no friction said I just called and they went all Police on me asking who I was and why I’m digging deep. Told them if they had a website all I’m asking would’ve been there so it’s not dark info...
...dark info I’m asking about and the chap goes “we don’t discuss company matters to strangers”, this is after you’ve discussed pretty much my whole 9 page exec summary to the detail already? Lmao! Anyway they’re out and running with the program and know I know so it’s time to...
...move up the timetable, switch up the plan, execute and now be the underdog to disrupt their own plan pretty much! It would be fun cos they’re running my playbook. As for the leak? Damn! All I can say is, when soliciting for advice and support for your game changing ideas...
...apply a whole lotta tact! Be discrete! Be brief and where you can don’t share specifics! Sad to say it could’ve been third party relayed or a direct hijack, & I’m not in the business of assuming suspects or changing my approach to people in business, but please share only...
...what’s necessary. Guard your files and documents. Anyone could’ve come up with the same idea but when your words are played back to you, you got played! That’s that about that, let’s move on to winning more!
