Many startup entrepreneurs do not understand the importance of cooperation between different companies. In reality it is very important to cooperate between companies because they help each other when it comes to marketing, PR and advertisement. Being open minded and willing to cooperate. Being open to new ideas, new thoughts, new cooperation is very important in business and it is just very stupid how some people in business close themselves. You have to be very independent and very well-known company and simply the best in the word in order not to be willing to cooperate  with anyone, however if you startup I do not think that you can be the best in the world so that is not about you for sure. Especially for startup, who is new in the business and who seeks support, it is very important to find companies that will be willing to cooperate with him. It is very good when other companies wish to cooperate and take interest in you, they will also automatically promote you and that is just amazing.

So now a real problem is when you want to cooperate with others because you know the importance of it but at the same time other companies to do want to cooperate with you. This is a very serious problem because it means that other companies think that there is no potential in you or that you do not have a good place in the market and that you will not get enough success. As you can see it is a real problem because it means that others underestimate you, or maybe they are right, something is not okay with what you do. In this case you have to be really careful and understand what you are doing wrong. One company can underestimate you, the second company can underestimate you also but when no one wants to deal with you, it really means that there are certain problems. Now let’s understand what the problems can be and how you can deal with this?

  • Well the very first reason why no one likes to cooperate with you is that actually you probably are not responsible enough. When you suggest to cooperate, people look at your history and try to understand whether you can be a reliable partner with them or no. When they see that you are not a very reliable partner and you do no rise trust, then it will turn them off. So what you should always do is to be punctual, to be responsible and show good attitude. Show class and be responsible, this is how you will boost your name.
  • Another reason why you might be rejected is not that much about you being responsible or about your potential, but about your offer. When you get rejected just try to analyze your suggestion from the other companies’ side and try to understand whether it is really inviting, helpful and interesting for them or no. the companies that you want to cooperate with when you startup are in better position than you, and in this case you will just have to take into the consideration the interest of the other company, otherwise they will not work with you for no interest. So when you make an offer, consult with several specialists and indicate also that you are willing to discuss more about the offer, because the company may be interesting in the offer but might like to change some things for a better income. Just be open here and be ready for some changes.
  • Another thing that will help you to deal with this kind of situation is your pride. When you see that you are being rejected , then do not lose yourself. May be this is another tactics and other companies do not like to cooperate with you just because they see a great potential in you and they want to kick you off from the market because they are afraid of you. When you notice the vibes of this kind of tactics then show your pride and do not run after these companies. If they reject you then just accept the rejection and go ahead. It will be much harder alone but at least you will make your own way.

So when you face a rejection from other companies, first try to understand the reasons behind the rejection and then only deal with the problem. If it is about the quality that is not satisfying for them, then become better and make others want to cooperate with you, just find a motivation in it and solve your mistakes.  If they do not want to cooperate with you because of your great potential, then just try to understand this, be happy about it and just make them jealous.  Do not forget about your pride and do not run after any company.
