Do you guys think it would appear desperate (but lets face it, all cities are desperate for prestige and greatness) for Chicago to hire a team of say, 15 people, with exquisite credentials and connections, and have them research companies and their needs, and then go after them?
In other words, get a few people with a lot of charisma and who know the intricacies of companies very well through research or connections; then, go around the country (or the globe) and pitch presentations to them suggesting that they move their corporate headquarters to Chicago.
They can prioritize: first and foremost, pitch downtown Chicago. Secondly, pitch the city; thirdly, pitch the Chicago region.
I'm guessing that if there were a good handful of people paid well to do this job full-time, Chicago would be able to land at least a few good HQ per year. Plus, Chicago is lucky to have the money to easily afford this.
Is it far-fetched? Is it stupid? Is it brilliant? Is it desperate? Most importantly, do you guys think it would be effective?> |
