Launching corporate events: a challenge for event planners
Beyond the tragic boredom of the boardroom, a corporate event challenges event planners to organize an effective tribal building program for corporate events. Why wouldn’t you want to challenge sales teams to solve self-created problems and leave behind ominous team politics to train your tribe to become better sales reps for your corporation?
The challenge: guide your teams to success!
Start by scheduling a classic corporate training event weekend with a show band or dance band on stage for regular Saturday night entertainment. Then create a showcase training event for the morning hours.
Platform-based training can manage teams, create problem solvers, and create highly effective, interactive sales groups. In these times of extreme losses, physical challenges, and cooking competitions, the concept of sales team losses can bring to mind a variety of possible events. But first the training.
Show speed training programs with role play.
Prepare the room with tables for two, ideal for role play. Then choose sides. Number 1/2 and send the 2 to the left, the 1 to the right. Select a team captain to train each team.
Team 1 trains first for the sales pitch.
Team 2 trains for the devil’s advocate: the client.
The goal of group two is to find all the possible arguments against buying the product, so group one has to come up with arguments to buy. Set a timer for 5 minutes and at the end of the five minutes, the teammates from Team 2 write a Y or N as a score for the Sales Representative from Team 1, and the teammates move on to the next table. After a round robin of each sales rep meeting with each buyer, switch roles. Team 2 becomes a sales rep. Team 1 becomes Buyers. Run the timed sessions for Speed Sales again through the entire team.
Gather the Y and N votes of all team players on each team and Tally. The best sales team wins the first round of the challenge.
Afternoon Sales Training Event
Groups of five sales reps who create a powerful sales pitch, written and ready for distance marketers to use before submitting to the sales team. These energetic releases can be read over dinner time to motivate and challenge team players to capitalize on their team communication skills. In general, all teams will use these troubleshooting programs after they have been typed and legally executed on Monday morning, to ensure that their products are well represented.
Night dance competition team builder
And they all dance! The evening’s challenge includes the wives of the team’s players who were invited to join the competition. The last couple to dance at the end of the night receives the price.
