The team in London traveled south bound to the British coast to my home town Bournemouth, here the rest of the international sales team joined us for four days of intense team building, strategy deliberation and skills development. This was the first time I had been in the same room as all our global reps and it was a great way to learn more about the specific regions and how the marketing and communications campaigns are working.<\/p>\n<p>Our<i> <b>VP International Sales, Keith Povah<\/b><\/i>, organised a very thorough but <a href=\"http:\/\/picasaweb.google.co.uk\/CarolineFaries\/ISMSept2010?authkey=Gv1sRgCLr-pJDMiZm9Xw#\">fun and engaging<\/a> itinerary. Surrounded by our Management Team and Board of Directors, our sales managers demonstrated their success over the past 12 months and the opportunities that lie ahead. <\/p>\n<p>Our new <i><b>VP RTCorporate, Keith Watson,<\/b><\/i> told me \u201cThe ISM managed to combine the sharing of information amongst a large team with the chance to get to know them better in a non-work environment. The sessions allowed for many different topics to be covered, which for a new starter is a great introduction.\u201d <i>Having only been in his role for a few weeks it seems this was the perfect intro to the madness of the Tiger!<\/i> <\/p>\n<p><i><b>Casey Davy, <\/b><\/i>our UK Sales Manager (while he had to stay home \u2013 no international travel for him) said \u201cThere were great training sessions to expand and reinforce product knowledge,&nbsp; opportunities for knowledge sharing, and exercises to help develop individual skill sets and overviews of strategic sales and marketing plans.&nbsp; It was also an opportunity for Management to share with the team the big picture, corporate goals, and development within our budding company.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While our US team did get to travel halfway across the world, from Orlando our Sales Manager <i><b>Sandy Fanucci<\/b><\/i> also a new member of the team said: \u201cI have been in sales for over 9 years and have participated in many Regional\/National Sales Meetings. I have to say this is honestly the first one I enjoyed as much as I did. The meeting format was perfect. Sitting in meeting rooms all day, consecutive days in a row can be very rigorous for someone that\u2019s used to being on the go. So the fact that we got what we needed from a full day\u2019s meeting then a \u201cday break\u201d in between with LOTS of fun was ideal.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018day break\u2019 she is referring to was <i><b>a day of Paintball<\/b><\/i>. All members of the team conscientiously participated. The groups, split in two, came out winning four games each \u2013 although the hot dogs were much to be desired.<\/p>\n<p>Following the ISM, the team is now back at their desks rapidly working through developments and ideas that came from the session.<i><b> It\u2019s non-stop for the Tiger!&nbsp;<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><i><b>Ryan Haynes <\/b>is the Marketing Head at eRevMax and is responsible for driving all PR and Marketing activities of RateTiger and eRevMax brands globally.
