Can we bribe them with Saint Louis pork steaks and gooey butter cake to leave Texas and get Saint Charles finished first??
Funny story... you may not want to do that.
Years ago, the sales team for the company I work for sponsored a "tech talk" afternoon with the various IT leaders of a large agricultural company headquartered in the area. They put out a great spread for lunch: pork steaks, mashed potatoes, corn, slaw, and yes, gooey butter cake for dessert. That was from 12-1. I was due to start speaking at 1:30.
Guess how effective my presentation was?
You'd probably have to get commitment to serve them the steaks AFTER they do the work...
