Pilot for NBC show to be set in Duluth?

I found this rather cryptic Craigslist post:

Veteran salesman Chuck Haverchuck is forced to take his new partner Terry
O'Hara on a business trip to Duluth for their soft drink company, and the two soon discover that they're poles apart as far as business goes, with Chuck being ruthless and amoral, and Terry guileless and honest.

Role: CHUCK HAVERCHUCK - A born salesman, professional, looks like a winner, incredibly charming, charismatic and completely amoral, Chuck is the top traveling salesman for a popular soda brand. A man with no life outside his job, he's a consummate deal-closer with nothing but contempt for normal emotional reactions or relationships. His own deeply buried emotions were in danger of surfacing when he is partnered with sincere, naive Terry O'Hara.
Male - All Ethnicities


Role: TERRY O'HARA - A family man with an honest face and trusting nature, he's the perfect mark for any salesman; unfortunately, he IS the salesman, in this case, the newly promoted (and clueless) partner of piranha salesman Chuck Haverchuck. Though Terry is embarrassed at his own lack of travel savvy compared to Chuck, he soon becomes horrified at Chuck's utter lack of morals regarding his job. His frustration with Chuck leads to an outburst that shocks both and ultimately ends up clinching their first deal together.

Along with a similarly cryptic call to the Budgeteer, I think the fine people of Duluth might have the next "Fly High, Duluth!" on their hands....

EDIT: Found "Business Class" on Internet Movie Database.
