Finally lost a big deal I cared about

As title states: I just found out a large deal I’ve been working on was lost.
What started as a 110k job, change order brought it to 180k, then the proposed job was determined to not be possible due to new discovery’s.
Quote was 450k and we lost.

I’m having a pity party for the next 30 minutes then getting back to it but dam does this feeling fucking suck.

Obviously life goes on but this one stings. How do you move past a large lost deal?

For perspective most deals average 30-50k

What area of the USA has the worst pools to service?

Hello everyone,

I’ve worked on residential and commercial pools in New England for the past ten years.
In New England we winterize pools for the season.
I know that over in Cali they will keep pools open year round.

What area of the country do you think would be the worst area to service? New England, west coast, south, etc.

No wrong answers just looking to bullshit over the weekend with some other industry professionals
