Sales Kickoff

Also known as SKO

The annual all-hands sales conference that resets strategy, comp, product and territory for the year.

In depth

SKO is equal parts rally, training and drop of the new comp plan. Effectiveness depends on how much of the content is inspection-ready (new playbooks, new messaging, new territories) vs. keynote theatre.
