If you snake someone else's deal, you're weak. And if you fall apart when someone snakes yours, well, you're unprepared. Today we're talking about both. What's up, guys? RJ Bates III here. Welcome back to The Sins of Wholesaling, the series where we call out the behaviors that destroyed this industry from the inside. And today's sin: snaking deals. Going behind someone's back, calling their seller, calling their buyer, trying to slip in and grab something you didn't earn. It's trash behavior. But here's what most people won't talk about. It's going to happen to you. So today we're covering two things. Why snaking deals is weak and how to respond when it happens, like a professional and not a victim. And let's call it what it is. Snaking a deal is scarcity thinking. It's someone who doesn't trust their ability to generate their own leads, negotiate their own contracts, build their own buyers' lists, so they wait for someone else to do the hard part and then they try to intercept it. That's not competitive, that's parasitic. Strong operators build pipelines. Weak operators lurk in Facebook groups and just refresh their feeds. And here's what snakes don't understand. You might win a deal, but you lose the room. And in wholesaling, the room is everything. You lose future JV opportunities, the quiet opportunities that you'll never see, buyer referrals, market intel. And the worst part, no one's gonna announce it. They just stop including you. And that's how professionals handle snakes. They don't argue, they delete. Because here's the real test. What happens when someone snakes you? You really have three options. Option one, you go nuclear. Option two, you play the victim, and option three, you move on and level up. Most people choose wrong. If someone snakes your deal, and your first instinct is posting rants, blowing up group chats, publicly attacking the snake, emotional phone calls. We've already lost twice. The snake wanted chaos. Don't give them the attention and the content. Emotional operators look small, commart operators look dangerous. The worst response to being snake is becoming a snake. I'll show them. No, protect your standards even when others don't. Because your reputation compounds, theirs decays. Here's how strong operators handle it. Step one, audit your vulnerability. Well, put that fucking word in there. Vulnerability. You know, when I wrote this stupid script, I probably shouldn't have put this word in there because I can't say it's like one of two words I can't say in the damn English dictionary. Vulnerability. That's as close as you're gonna get. So you're gonna audit that. Golly, you'd think my own words would be easier to say. Moving on. How did they get access to the property? Did you overshare? Did you blast a deal publicly? Did you lack a written JV agreement? Did you fail to lock up the buyer properly? Snakes exist, but sloppiness invites snakes into your world. Step two, tighten your process. Clear JV agreements, define buyer protocols, controlled deal distribution, better communication with sellers, professional systems reduce exposure. Step three, move on fast. The more time you spend obsessing over one stolen deal, the less time you spend creating the next five. Abundance crushes revenge. If snaking devastates your business, well, you didn't have a business, you had a dependency. One deal should not define your stability. If it does, that's your real weakness. Strong pipelines make snakes irrelevant. You want to become unsnakable? Do this. Generate your own consistent leads. Build direct buyer relationships. Create reputation-based partnerships. Then close at a high enough volume that one deal doesn't matter. Snakes attacked fragility. They don't bother attacking strength. Now, this episode isn't for people who justify shady behavior, people who melt down over one lost deal, people who think that this business is supposed to be fair. This episode is for long-term operators, builders, leaders. And if someone snakes you, smile. Because that tells you exactly who they are. And now you get to build without them. This was The Sins of Wholesaling episode seven, snaking deals. The next episode, well, you guys are just gonna have to tune in next Monday to see what we're gonna rant and rave about there. But at the end of the day, do not let one snake devastate your business. Move on. Go get you the next five deals. Let me know what you guys think of the comments. Regardless, show me some love, like today's video, and we'll see you guys tomorrow.
