You Let Your Ego Cost You the Listing Twice

You lost the instruction to a cheap fee or a wild overvaluation.
That was not the disaster.
That was the opportunity.
The real disaster was what you did next:
Nothing.
No calls.
No nurturing.
No reassurance.
You left the vendor alone with their mistake.
You never rang them once
You made their regret feel like embarrassment.
You made them believe coming back to you meant admitting they were stupid.
And so — they didn’t.
They signed with someone else instead.
Not because they trusted them.
But because it was easier than admitting they should have trusted you.
You did not lose once.
You lost twice — because you made it about you and your fragile ego
