Know Before You SKO: What Separates a High-Impact Kickoff from an Expensive Reset Button

Most sales kickoffs follow the same formula: book the venue, build an agenda, and hope the energy at the event turns into momentum in the field.

When it doesn't, leaders spend the rest of the year wondering why a six-figure event didn't move the numbers.

The problem starts long before your opening keynote.

Teams typically build their SKO based on what sellers say or managers want, run a high-energy event, and hope the skills stick.

What's missing is an approach that treats SKO as a performance intervention: diagnose performance gaps before the event, prioritize the behaviors that matter most for the year ahead, activate them at the kickoff, then reinforce and measure after.

How can you avoid making the same mistakes?

Join this fast-paced, 30-minute conversation, where Rob Perrilleon, Eric Nitschke, and Tiffany Nino—three Corporate Visions experts who study what separates SKOs that change seller behavior from ones that don't—will share how to use evidence instead of instinct to make this year’s SKO your best yet.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

• Assess sellers before the event instead of guessing at their skill gaps once they're already in the room
• Use performance data to shape your agenda so sessions target real needs instead of a one-size-fits-all curriculum
• Build in reinforcement and measurement after the event so you can track if the skills developed at kickoff hold up in the field

Watch the replay now to walk into your next SKO with a plan, not a guess.
