rocketlife in Tokyo: Day 18 - Mar 9 2010

Day 18 - Mar 9 2010 - Global Sales Awards

I was very fortunate to be stationed in Tokyo in my program during the Global Sales Awards, which celebrates the achievements of the best/most productive sales people for 2009. Kimberly Wright, Marc Stein and Dave Hansen won from the different segments within our American subsidiary. The team I am on, directly supports Kimberly on a daily basis, so it was great to see the ultimate benefits we can help realize by working hard throughout the year. It was a great day spent in meetings learning, sharing and reflecting on the last year and the years to come.

The day started by Benjamin and myself stopping off at Shimbashi station to pick up Kimberly at her hotel and helping her navigate the train system across town to our building at Tamachi station. Later that night we attended the awards ceremony with a world class offering of food and drink coupled with important networking with fellow employees from around the world. Once that shut down around 9pm, we braved the slushy snow/rain and wind and enjoyed the rest of the evening drinking and singing in a karaoke club. I was fortunate to be invited to all the activities even though I was not a recipient of the GSA. My fellow program member that you've seen in multiple pics and videos, Yann Loizeau, was a winner of the Global Sales Award, representing NTT Europe - Paris office.

I took lots of pics and videos, please enjoy and comment!
