TBI’s Annual Ski Trip

Our retreat in the mountains

President of TBI, Geoffrey Shepstone and Senior VP Ken Mercer were joined by agents and vendors alike last week for TBI’s Annual Ski Trip. This year’s event took place in Breckenridge, Colorado at a luxurious retreat with stunning views of the Rocky Mountains.

Sponsored by CDW, Global Crossing, Lightyear, Level3, One Communications, Qwest and XO, the long weekend was both fun and constructive. One of the best parts about the excursion was the productivity that emerged from like-minded professionals in a comfortable atmosphere. Ken Mercer stated, “I like the fact that the Channel Managers bonded with the agents, and earned trust. I told

most of the channel managers, after this weekend, everyone of these sub agents will take your call. That is the biggest step forward.”

But it wasn’t all business all the time. There was plenty of time to hit the slopes, reconnect and of course…eat. Some of the group’s favorite meals included Ken’s wicked twice baked potatoes, with sour cream, cheese and procuitto. Connie Shepstone pitched in with brussel sprouts while TBI Channel Manager Steve Hendler settled in front of the bbq, cooking up 25 steaks for everyone to enjoy.

Thanks to all of our sponsors and participants. We’re already looking forward to next year’s trip!
