We plan your sales kickoff meeting so reps leave with the new plan in their heads and a reason to beat each other in Q1. Between sessions, they compete on a live leaderboard, and the winners go up on stage.
A sales kickoff earns its budget when the quarter after it looks different. Everything in the program should serve that.
Most companies hold their kickoff at the start of the fiscal year, often in January or February. Reps hear the strategy, meet the new products, train and celebrate last year's winners. Then they fly home and the pipeline shows whether it worked.
The risk is energy. By the afternoon of day two, a room full of salespeople has heard a lot of slides. We plan the agenda so people move, compete and talk to colleagues from other regions. For year-round formats, see our events for sales teams.
You own the message. We build the days around it and run everything that isn't on your slides.
These are the pieces we bring, each with the people who run it.

Racing simulators with a live ranking. Regions or teams race for points across the whole event. See our simulator challenge for team formats.

Two competitions for a returning client and one general session setup.
A two-station racing challenge on the 55th floor of an office tower. The client set ten prize places, from a racing helmet down to trophies. Races took about three minutes, and both cockpits stayed busy almost nonstop from 2 to 5 PM.
Downtown Los Angeles
For a bigger group, we ran four racing stations on one leaderboard. Each run had about 90 seconds of driving, so a guest took about two and a half minutes with instructions. Afterward, the client got the final standings.
West Los Angeles
A general session lives or dies on audio. In a hall with hard walls, we placed speakers along the rows and the side seating and tested before doors. The sound for a seated presentation reached every seat.

Kickoff venues are often hotels with strict rules for vendors, and we clear them before you sign off.
We send insurance documents to venues and organizers on request. For a corporate office building, we met the building's insurance requirements before event day. We also agree dock times, elevator bookings, power and passes with the venue's events team.
Each of these problems is fixable at the planning stage.
You'll know who does what at each step, and one team stays with you through to teardown.
Your sales leaders focus on their people. Our team handles the rest.
Your kickoff can be at an Orlando resort, in Las Vegas or next to headquarters. We have two bases, Los Angeles and Orlando, and work across the U.S., with transport and setup in one plan.
