Our sales kick-offs bring teams together to celebrate wins, align strategy, and build motivation for the year ahead. We handle the logistics and creative design so you can focus on inspiring your people.
A sales kick-off is one of the most powerful moments in a company’s calendar. It’s the point where sales teams step away from the daily routine to celebrate results, align around a shared vision, and prepare for the challenges ahead. A well-crafted sales kick-off event is not just another company meeting, it is an intentional space for team alignment, strategy, and renewed motivation.
At Wepleia, we create SKOs that go beyond logistics and PowerPoint slides. Each experience is designed to feel inspiring, human, and aligned with your culture. We blend strategic facilitation with hospitality and storytelling to craft a sales retreat that balances learning, celebration, and connection. From agenda design and session flow to venue selection and local experiences, every element is built to help your team reconnect with purpose and energy.
I love helping teams meet face to face, properly. Not just to “work remotely together” in a new place, but to actually connect, step back, and have the kind of conversations that don’t happen on Zoom.
One of my favorite moments? Seeing a fully remote team meet in real life for the first time!
My favorite spot so far: Mallorca. Serra de Tramuntana has this quiet energy that makes you breathe deeper and leave better than you came.
A sales kick-off is not a simple corporate sales event. It’s a strategic investment that fuels clarity, motivation, and belonging across your sales organization. When designed with purpose, an SKO becomes the bridge between company strategy and human connection, the moment when teams realign and refocus before starting a new cycle.
For many companies, the sales meeting is the only time the entire team gathers face-to-face. That’s why a sales kick-off needs to do more than inform; it must inspire. It’s the space where leaders communicate direction with authenticity, where success is recognized, and where shared culture is strengthened.
A well-structured SKO helps unify teams around the company’s sales strategy, message, and priorities. It reinforces trust between leaders and teams, boosts morale, and translates high-level goals into concrete motivation. The impact extends far beyond the event itself, setting the tone for focus, collaboration, and performance throughout the year.
A sales kick-off reignites the energy that drives performance. Through strategic sessions, shared reflection, and recognition, teams reconnect with the “why” behind their targets and find renewed focus for what’s ahead.
Connection is at the heart of every successful SKO. By gathering your sales team in an environment designed for openness and celebration, you strengthen relationships and reinforce a sense of unity that lasts long after the event.
A sales strategy retreat ensures everyone understands not just the goals but the reasoning and direction behind them. Alignment transforms ambition into execution, creating consistency in communication and confidence in leadership.
Motivation doesn’t come from pressure; it comes from clarity, recognition, and shared belief. A motivational sales event helps people see themselves as part of something larger, re-energizing both individual drive and collective purpose.
A sales kick-off is more than an annual meeting, it’s the heartbeat of your commercial team. It’s the moment where strategy meets emotion, where goals turn into motivation, and where people reconnect with the purpose behind their work. When designed with care, an SKO becomes a powerful reset that inspires confidence, unity, and drive for the year ahead.
Beyond presentations and targets, a great sales kick-off creates space for reflection, recognition, and human connection. It celebrates the wins, learns from the challenges, and reminds every person that they’re part of a shared journey. It’s a rare opportunity for teams to step away from daily routines, recharge their mindset, and return with renewed clarity and focus.
In the end, a sales kick-off isn’t just about performance, it’s about people. It’s about inspiring belief, strengthening culture, and setting the tone for a year where teams feel aligned, empowered, and ready to win together.

A sales kick-off should feel like a reset, a balance between strategy and inspiration. It’s not just about presentations or targets; it’s about creating an environment where people can think, connect, and feel part of a shared journey.
A strong SKO includes moments of learning, recognition, and connection. Combine keynotes that inspire with workshops that activate. Build in time for rest and reflection, so people leave not just informed, but recharged. The best events combine structure and spontaneity, planned moments that flow naturally and leave space for genuine interaction.
Whether it’s a product launch, a new fiscal year, or a moment to rebuild morale, the aim is the same: to leave your sales team aligned, confident, and ready to perform with purpose.
Every retreat should balance connection, purpose, and recovery.
From outdoor adventures and culinary experiences to team challenges and reflection moments, the key is to adapt your retreat to your team’s reality, are they seeking alignment, rebuilding trust, or celebrating growth?
Include workshops or deep-dive sessions focused on vision, priorities, or product planning.
Curate social or hands-on activities that create space for bonding.
Add space for movement, nature, silence, or fun to help the brain recharge and boost focus later.
Our team-building activities are designed to help companies strengthen collaboration, communication, and trust through shared experiences. Each program blends fun and purpose, creating meaningful moments that bring teams closer together.
We design everything from outdoor adventure challenges and creative construction games to strategy-based missions and interactive workshops, always adapting the format to your team’s goals and energy.
Perfect for remote or hybrid teams, new hires, or companies going through growth or change, our team-building experiences help people reconnect, align around shared values, and return to work feeling motivated, confident, and united.
These sessions are designed to go deeper into topics such as leadership, strategy, communication, feedback, and team values. They provide structured time to reflect, align, and move forward with clarity —something most teams rarely have space for in their daily routines.
We work with certified professionals trained in methods like ICF, CTI, ORSC, and LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®. Formats range from short workshops (1–2h) to full-day sessions, ideal for moments when your team needs to reset priorities, strengthen collaboration, or prepare for a new chapter. It’s focused, valuable time to get everyone aligned and leave with shared direction.
We design experiences that invite teams to slow down, connect, and immerse themselves in the culture of the place they’re visiting. From cooking local recipes with regional chefs and meeting small-scale producers, to guided walks that uncover the area’s stories and traditions, every experience is crafted to spark genuine connection and a sense of belonging.
We prioritise sustainability, DEI, and social impact, collaborating with trusted local partners who share our values. At the same time, we curate exclusive, high-end experiences for teams looking for something truly memorable, a private dinner in a hidden venue, a custom boat day along the coast, or an intimate behind-the-scenes visit with a local artisan or expert.
We bring in speaker guests who offer real substance and spark meaningful conversations. From leadership and emotional wellbeing to DEI and the future of work, we look for voices that go beyond the surface and speak to the challenges teams are actually facing.
We take inspiration from thought leaders like Claire Haidar (future of work & human systems), Paloma Medina (neuroscience-based equity & leadership), Safi Bahcall (author of Loonshots), Liz Fosslien (emotions at work), or Noam Shpancer (psychology & remote team wellbeing). Whether you’re after an energising keynote or a grounded conversation, we’ll suggest profiles that fit your goals and culture.
The destination you choose for your sales kick-off is more than a setting, it’s part of the experience. The right environment helps people connect emotionally to the message, recharge creatively, and step out of their usual mindset.
Nature inspires calm and reflection, perfect for reconnecting and building trust. Urban settings bring dynamism and innovation, ideal for product-focused SKOs or fast-paced sales teams. Coastal or countryside locations invite focus and authenticity, great for team bonding and shared experiences.
When choosing your sales kick-off destination, think about the energy you want to create. Do you want to spark creativity, reward achievement, or help your team slow down and refocus? Every space tells a story, and the right one will help your message resonate deeply.
Practical elements matter too, travel time, accessibility, weather, and group flow all influence how the event feels. At Wepleia, we help you select the destination that supports both your goals and your culture, ensuring your sales team gathering runs seamlessly from start to finish.
The goal is to choose a place that feels effortless, meaningful, and aligned with your company’s values, somewhere your team can think clearly, connect deeply, and leave inspired.
Planning a sales kick-off is about creating flow. The most successful events are the ones that feel natural yet intentional, structured yet energizing.
Two to three days usually work best for a company kick-off or corporate sales event. This gives enough time to combine strategy, recognition, and connection without overwhelming your team. Timing is also key: early-year SKOs help set clear direction, while mid-year sessions are ideal for celebration and recalibration.
When crafting your agenda, start strong with clarity and inspiration. Follow with workshops that connect strategy to daily action, and end with moments that build community, dinners, local experiences, or recognition ceremonies. Avoid back-to-back sessions and allow time for organic conversation; some of the most meaningful insights happen when the schedule breathes.
A good SKO creates energy that lasts. It leaves people feeling proud, aligned, and ready to execute the company’s vision with confidence. The measure of success isn’t just applause at the end, it’s the focus and motivation your sales team carries back into their work.

A corporate retreat is a multi-day offsite where your team steps away from daily operations to reconnect, reflect, and refocus on long-term goals. It’s a moment to realign strategy, strengthen relationships, and boost creativity outside the office environment.
For remote or distributed companies, these gatherings are often the only time everyone meets face-to-face, which makes them invaluable for collaboration, culture, and motivation.
Beyond “team building,” a corporate retreat helps clarify priorities, reduce silos, and bring back momentum. It’s about creating space for strategy, recognition, and genuine human connection, the kind of energy you can’t get from Zoom calls.
Planning a successful team offsite starts with clarity, understanding why you’re organizing it and what you want people to take away from it. From there, the process should flow naturally through a few key steps:
Define your purpose. Is it about strategy and alignment, celebration, or connection? The goal determines the tone, content, and format.
Choose the right location. Balance accessibility, weather, and experience. Coastal areas inspire relaxation; nature brings reflection; cities add energy.
Design a thoughtful agenda. Mix structured sessions (like workshops or discussions) with downtime and shared experiences. The best retreats blend work, play, and rest.
Involve professionals. Working with an experienced retreat planner ensures smooth logistics, from venue and catering to transportation and team activities.
Capture outcomes. After the retreat, summarize takeaways and translate insights into concrete next steps for your team.
At Wepleia, we guide teams through each stage, crafting retreats with purpose that feel effortless yet deeply impactful.
The ideal destination depends on your team’s goals, season, and energy, but some places are consistently outstanding for company retreats:
🇪🇸 Spain: From the mountains of Girona and Mallorca’s coastline to San Sebastián’s charm or Málaga’s vibrant culture. Perfect balance of nature, gastronomy, and accessibility.
🇵🇹 Portugal: Lisbon and Madeira offer incredible landscapes, mild weather, and creative energy ideal for strategy and reconnection.
🇮🇹 Italy: Tuscany, Sicily, and the Amalfi Coast combine inspiration, cuisine, and tranquility, ideal for leadership and creative teams.
🇨🇭 Switzerland: A top choice for nature immersion and clarity-driven retreats, especially for high-level executive offsites.
🇨🇾 Cyprus or Greece: Sun, sea, and culture, great for motivation and reward-driven experiences.
At Wepleia, we curate destinations we know personally, each chosen for its balance of inspiration, comfort, and practicality. Whether you want beaches, vineyards, or mountain views, we’ll help you find the right setting for your team’s story.
A strong retreat agenda balances strategy, connection, and restoration. It’s not about packing every minute —it’s about creating flow and purpose.
Here’s what we recommend including:
Opening session or welcome dinner: Sets the tone, introduces the purpose, and helps everyone switch off from “work mode.”
Strategic or leadership workshops: Focused on clarity, direction, and shared priorities.
Team activities: Outdoor challenges, creative workshops, or cultural experiences that strengthen trust and communication.
Reflection time: Space for individuals or small groups to process and share insights.
Social or celebration moments: Dinners, local immersions, or recognition moments that foster belonging.
Closing session: Summarizes key learnings, aligns next steps, and leaves the team inspired.
At Wepleia, we design custom agendas built around your objectives, from two-day offsites to week-long experiences, ensuring each moment adds value and intention.
The cost of a corporate retreat depends on several factors: destination, season, group size, accommodation level, activities, and travel logistics.
On average, companies invest from €400 to €1,500 per person for 3–5 days, including hotel, meals, activities, and coordination.
At Wepleia, every retreat is custom-designed to fit your team’s goals and budget. We combine local expertise, trusted suppliers, and smart logistics to deliver high-quality experiences that make the most of every euro, without compromising comfort or impact.
In Europe, spring (April-June) and autumn (September-November) are ideal. You’ll find pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and better prices than peak summer months.
If your team prefers nature-based retreats, early spring and fall are perfect for outdoor activities and reflection.
For coastal or incentive trips, late May to October works beautifully.
That said, there’s no “wrong” time, what matters most is matching the season to your goals. Planning ahead (6 months minimum) ensures you get the best venues and flight options.
Most company retreats last 3 to 5 days, striking the right balance between productivity and rest.
2–3 days: Great for quick alignment or team connection.
4–5 days: Ideal for strategic work and deeper relationship building.
7+ days: Best for large, international teams, reward trips or workations.
Wepleia helps structure each retreat around your goals, combining workshops, team activities, and downtime, so the experience feels refreshing, not rushed.
A team building day is usually a single-day event focused on fun, motivation, or specific skills, like communication, collaboration, or creativity. It’s great for short-term morale and engagement.
A retreat, on the other hand, is a multi-day offsite that blends strategy, connection, and purpose. It’s a chance to reflect, align, and recharge together, to think long-term, not just enjoy the moment.
In short:
Team building = quick boost of energy and bonding.
Retreat = deeper transformation that aligns people, goals, and culture.
Wepleia designs both, but our retreats go beyond logistics, creating experiences that leave lasting impact on teams and leaders.
