1. If your hooks not in the water, you're not gonna catch any fish.
2. If you want to bag an Elephant, you have to be hunting for Elephants.
3. If you don't ask, the answer is always going to be NO.
Just by asking, your chances go up exponentially from 100% NO to at least 25% maybe to 25%yes.
Also, asking is free but I can 100% guarantee what you will get by not asking. See #1.
