Jason's Visit to Napa for Sales Kick Off

Last week Jason went to Napa Valley, California for a Sales kick-off event sponsored by the West Coast Sales division of his company. The event was held at the Silverado Resort in Napa. It was a great time to meet not only the sales people but also all the members of his own team. These sales events are great pep-rallies providing useful information on the direction of the company and strategic sales efforts in the west coast. This two day event included a stay at the Silverado Resort with each of the attendees getting his or her own cottage suite.

On the night of the first day, the teams were treated to a winery tour and banquet. The winery tour was at Francis Ford Coppola's Rubicon Estate. The tour included a visit of the winery grounds, the winery for wine tasting and a visit of Copolla's museum at the Chateau which had many of his Academy Awards and other museum pieces. After the winery tour they were taken to a banquet at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone. The banquet included a four course meal and a different wine for each course.

On the second day, there were several technical presentations and an awards ceremony. Jason received the Tenacity Award from the Sales team. Unfortunately, Jason's team left before the awards ceremony and Jason's award had to be sent in the mail.

That evening Jason visited with the Moody family. Dinner and time with the Moody family was great as usual and Jason looks forward to visiting with them the next time he is in the Bay area.
