Make Your Sales Kickoff the Party of the Year

November 7, 2023 by Salesforce Insider Leave a Comment

It’s true: I once fell asleep during a sales kickoff. I didn’t mean to, but nature is bound to take over when you’re sitting through the sixth presentation in a row. 

When I came to, I made a solemn vow: When I became a sales leader one day, I’d never throw a boring sales kickoff. Today, I’m Head of Sales at Slack, and I’ve made good on that promise (or so my team tells me).

What you’ll learn:

What is a sales kickoff (SKO)?
What should be included in a sales kickoff?
How do you plan a sales kickoff agenda?
Sales kickoff tips and best practices
