I have lots of thoughts as to what is professionalism to me. Regarding your question on how I respond to unprofessional partners I offer this;
as a Sales Manager, I employ this saying to myself, my salespeople and my installation team: Today it's easier to succeed than ever before, simply because so much of your competition deosn't even try.
I have no authority over my partner but I can try to influence them with leading by example. If that has no effect, It will at least motivate me to "do everything right" as I know I'll be recognized for my actions/abilities and they'll be recognized for theirs. I know what my goals are and where I want to get to and I'm in a continual state of learning what it will take. That's what I can focus on.
