EMAIL DETAILS

No answer to how it is a bad thing, only "that's not how I pitched it with Dan" and "I don't know if Neil is going to be around with us for permanently and it would be bad to introduce him to Dan and then have him disappear." It is clear she 1) wanted us to ask her advice on it first (a little understandable, but she would have said no or she would have said she wanted to be there) and 2) thinks that she should be in every meeting with you and the four fund clients and that if she isn't she has to explain to them why she wasn't there. She wants to be the point person on the relationship. She wouldn't even let Anne Marie call and make the appointment - finally, Dan's Assistant had to email her and ask if she could be put in contact with you assistant.

It is all ridiculous. It is very easy to say, "I was in NY and also wanted you to meet one of my other partners."

Agreed. FYI, I told Arlene that Neil was going and specified the reason and she's is of course all out of whack. I told her she didn't need to worry, you weren't trying to sell Dan anything but while you were touching base you also wanted to gather intel on how they do research and you thought it would be good to have Neil there. She asked me to ask you to reconsider and go alone. She said, it is OK if Neil went with you AND her, but she doesn't want him going without her there. I, of course, don't necessarily agree, just passing on the message so that I can say I passed on her concerns. We're good with Dan - I mean they just decided to hire Chuck and Mike - I don't see why it should be a problem other than that she is feeling threatened that Neil might somehow develop a relationship with Dan or undermine her authority if she is not there. If you feel weird about it Neil wouldn't be offended, but seems a little silly to me.

Should I have AM tell his office you'll be bringing Neil with you?
