Tokyo CRM Expo


Tokyo CRM Expo

So far so good over here in the land of the rising sun.

I'm now pretty much unpacked and into my routine of getting up early to check on what's going on in San Mateo, chilling out on the couch and watching Dr Who streamed from the DVR in Kingsburg to my Mac Mini attached to the TV here in Tokyo and plotting about where I am going to have lunch that day.

Yesterday was a doubly interesting day on the work front as after a couple of conference calls and meetings in the office I headed over to the CRM Expo event where we had a stand and were showing our wares. I wasn't quite ready for all the excitement of a Japanese software trade show, not least the fact that we (like many other vendors) had some nice young ladies working hard to convince visitors to come and watch our presentations.

Here's a picture of me and Tamaki san (one of our Japanese Sales Engineers that I call 'Beckham KK' - he plays soccer and kind of looks like him when he smiles) with the tallest of our 'NetSuite Ladies', as I called them. They were very friendly and it seems a shame to only have them at trade shows. So I think one of my first acts in my role over here is insisting that we have them at the office to greet me every morning when I get to work.
