Sales Kickoff (SKO) Team Events & Workshops

Hands-on breakout sessions for sales kickoffs — in-studio, onsite at your venue, or virtual

SKO season: January & February book out first

Three days of pipeline reviews and product decks need one hour that is not another presentation. Our guided craft workshops slot straight into an SKO agenda: reps sit down, make something real with the teammates they only ever see on Zoom, and walk back into the next session actually talking to each other.

The hour your SKO agenda is missing

Sales kickoffs are mandatory, budgeted a quarter ahead, and packed with sessions nobody chose. The breakout your reps remember is the one where they made something.

The SKO problem

Back-to-back keynotes and breakout decks produce the same result every year: by day two, energy is gone and the hallway track is the only part anyone liked.

The fix

A 60–90 minute guided maker session placed between heavy content blocks. No trust falls, no forced sharing — a real activity with a real object at the end.

Why it sticks

Every rep leaves with something they made sitting on their desk all year — a better anchor for kickoff than a branded water bottle.

Fits the run of show, not the other way around

Tell us the agenda slot and we build to it. We run parallel cohorts for large sales orgs, deliver onsite at your SKO venue or hotel, host at our studios, or ship kits with a live facilitator for distributed field teams — same activity, same hour, every region.

Book it when you book your venue

SKO planning starts in September and October for January kickoffs. The teams that get their preferred date lock the activity block when they lock the room — not in the first week of January when every enablement team in the city is calling at once.

Something bounded, hands-on, and unrelated to quota. A guided craft workshop gives reps a shared task with a visible result in about an hour — no icebreaker scripts, and no competition on top of the one they already live in.
Most sales kickoffs land in January and February, and enablement teams source vendors in September through November. If your SKO is in January, booking by late fall protects your date.
Yes. The format needs tables and chairs, not staging or AV. We bring materials and facilitators to your venue, or host cohorts at our studios.
Yes — we ship kits to each rep and run the session live over video, so remote regions get the same hour as the room.
From a 20-person pod to several hundred reps in parallel cohorts. Tell us the headcount and the slot; we structure around it.
No. The workshop is the event — there is no meal built in, so there is nothing to certify and nobody to accommodate separately: kosher, halal, vegetarian, Jain, allergy-sensitive, fasting, and alcohol-free teammates simply join in. Plenty of teams add their own refreshments afterward; it is always optional, never required. See our inclusive team events page for the full rundown.
