SAN DIEGO, Calif. - The 2005 Top Gun Maytag Distributor Meeting began with a welcome dinner including video screens showing fighter pilots taking off on dangerous missions and a look-alike Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis mingling amongst the Maytag distributors.
Maytag used the Top Gun theme to recognize the company's distributors, stating that they are the best in the HVAC industry, just as the pilots who attend Top Gun school are the best in their field. Various speakers emphasized how attending distributors could develop their skills in order to build a first-class "squadron" of Maytag Top Gun dealers in their territories.
