Yeah, I have seen a lot of that "We are the next OWCP" when they talk about their future runs in SP. I just see every tweet / interview / speaking opportunity as a sale opportunity. My previous role in sales we wouldn't speak of the other players unless they were brought up to us. Regardless if they were stronger or weaker than we were. Why open the box on someone deciding to buy someone else? Maybe I am backwards thinking in regards to that. I also do not know as much as I should to make a valid argument pro/con this marketing approach.

full disclosure: I sold Verizon Wireless to pay for college. Not exactly corporate real estate or pharmaceutical sales.
