Sales kick-off time: Do something unexpected

6 ways to create an unforgettable SKO event

1. Show you care

Recognize your best-of-the-best and show your teams how much you care about their experience.

Give your SKO a makeover that drives ROI

  • Furnish with premium or unexpected furniture
  • Nourish with fewer hotel cookies more healthy choices
  • Educate with flawless materials (slides and handouts)
  • Use a killer implementation plan to avoid an exhausting, expensive, ineffective SKO

2. Make some magic

Construct social events that facilitate valuable interactions with new people.

Do something unexpected

  • Delight your team with a surprise – instead of motivational speakers, it’s circus performers!
  • Each engagement is purpose-driven through charity or networking

3. Align the team

Have your leaders put the strategy and path to change in customer-centric terms that matter to your Sales Reps.

Inspire transformation

  • Feature real world “from-to’s” for all levels
  • Be clear on what you don’t know yet
  • Motivate your people to stretch

4. Crowdsource

Intentionally present new information AND initiate activities that gather knowledge from the field.

Go deep

  • Supply information on demand
  • Facilitate competitive challenges that require resourcefulness
  • Think from the customer perspective

5. Keep people engaged

Facilitate competition through self-directed, elective, and informal challenges that fit with your culture and values.

Drive it home

  • Experience a purpose-driven event
  • Propel impact beyond the experience

6. Draw a roadmap

Is this the first of many trainings? Give an overview of what’s to come. If not, focus solely on one or two skills that your people can walk away with.

Live the change

  • Transfer knowledge before, practice as if in real life at SKO
  • Do real work at SKO
