Last November 23-26, 2008 we all had our annual National Sales Conference which was held in Tagaytay. Sales and MANCOM members stayed in the luxurious Taal Vista Lodge while Brand people (like me) and other support groups stayed at a 4-star hotel - Hotel Kimberly which is about 10-15 minutes drive to Tall Vista. Hotel I stayed at was not bad at all! It was clean, presentable and service was like a 5-star hotel. Guests can even borrow DVD's from the front desk for FREE!

The theme for this year was JAMES BOND. Highlighting James Bond from the ID's down to the presentations was awesome. Well, even if most of us got "sawa" already of James Bond 007 after the 4 days, 3 nights event, it was a sales conference to rememember for me especially that this was my 1st!
