However, when you take any of these actions, never ignore your pseudo-adversary. After the meeting, contact the Blocker and explain what you did and why. Sometimes, their actions are not in the form of refusing you but rather of insisting that they make the presentation to senior management without you present. If you cannot dissuade them from this course, then you must educate the Blockers, not by telling them what to say, but rather by asking them key questions you envision their management would ask, to ensure they have prepared the right answers. Then make subtle suggestions so they embrace the presentation as theirs, not yours.
Blockers serve as a gatekeeper for the competition as well.
If you can turn your Blocker into your ally, he or she may continue to block your competitors.
