From 1/15/2011 to 2/10/2011. First part of the training: studying the games, phone calls. One month to prepare for the most important show of the year in the toy industry: NYC toy fair!
From 2/10/2011 to 2/17/2011. In flight to NYC Toy Fair 2011, 7 very intense days to build our booth, to demo the new games to as many custumers as possible, to take orders and to dissassemble the booth!
2/17/2011 to 3/9/2011 Flight back to SF for the last part of the training before starting the road trip. Studying the US map, setting appointments, phone calls. I'll cover the east coast from Georgia to NY (long island part only). Looks exciting!
3/9/2011: starting of the road trip. First clients in Memphis Tennesse but a few stops are necessary. After a whole day on the road, what is better than a night in Las Vegas to take a rest...
3/10/2011: Great views on the road the whole day. Now it is time to take a break in that creepy motel 6 surrounded with police cars and thugs. Now I know why it was so cheap
3/11/2011. 3rd day on the road and I only start to figure out how various the Amercian landscape can be: beach, forest, mountain, canyon, desert with sun, rain and snow! Wow!
3/16/2011- Got to see a client in The Old Mill which is a beautiful village in the mountains where everything is made oldschool. The woman whom I show the games is actually a member of the familly that owns the whole touristic area! Lets go back stage...
