A few weeks ago one of my competitors went to upper management, inside one of our best accounts, and trash talked War Horse. While the customers did see through the false advertising and chalked it up to jealousy, the action still hit my hot button and left me in a place where taking the low road became attractive.

Forgiving and pushing the train down the track is my only play. I’m well aware of Who has the victory in the end.
