Back from Accuvant’s annual sales kickoff
Well, I am back from our annual sales kickoff meeting. The week was rough, but the content was great, especially the last day (we had a three of our top SE’s teaching our processes and how to be a more effective SE – the sales people were in there as well, so they got a good idea of what we have to deal with). I am more jazzed up now about working for Accuvant. The people I met were great. Everyone is stoked about 2007. I am convinced more than ever that this was a good move for me.
I know. Everyone is highly motivated by these meetings, and it will probably wear off. I agree to a point, but what you have to understand is that I have never worked anywhere that I felt like a part of something good. This is the first company that I am proud of being a part. It is a good feeling. Maybe that’s a little cheesy, but that’s the way I feel.
It was held at Copper Mountain in Colorado. Very nice location, but we never had any time to get out and enjoy it since we were in meetings the whole time. Oh well.
I could barely breath up there. I think it is somewhere around 9,500 feet where we were staying. Since I live in Houston, which is about 6′ about sea level, I was completely unprepared for the thin air. I had a headache the whole first day and was gasping for air all night when I was trying to sleep. That REALLY sucked. I got about an hour of sleep that night.
I got used to it the next day, but I was so friggin’ tired that I still don’t remember much of the day. I slept like a baby the second and third night, and I was fine just walking around. Next time I will be taking as much of this advice as I can.
