Yeah...what about those Mop salesmen who are ALREADY there!?! Has Charles Diamond and/or company been notified of this event? It would seem that they would be the natural choice for the meeting as they have the materials,the know how ,etc to best make an impression for MOP!
In fact,as I think about this....Mop management SHOULD go to the meeting and there should be no excuses not to! This is THE golden chance for MOP to be known and represented and Mop management SHOULD want to jump at this opportunity.And,IMO, if they don't ...I would wonder about their REAL intentions regarding responding to theis crisis.(If this was my company(Mop)....I'd be all over BP and everyone else like a cheap suit.They'd be so tired of my face pushing MOP that they'd cave with orders just to get rid o' me!!!!
Remember what Dr.Peabody told Sherman(on the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show): OPPORKNOCKITY TUNES BUT ONCE!
(Opporknockity was a once-only piano tuner of olde... :-)
