Frequently asked questions about GoGather's sales kickoffs.

What is a sales kickoff (SKO)? A sales kickoff is a high-energy, company-wide or department-level meeting typically held at the start of the fiscal year. It’s designed to align sales teams, energize performance, introduce goals and tools, and build culture and camaraderie. We plan kickoffs that not only motivate but also equip your team with what they need to succeed.
What types of kickoffs does GoGather plan?

We plan all types of internal kickoffs, including:

  • National or regional sales kickoffs (SKOs)
  • Cross-functional launch meetings
  • Go-to-market team rollouts
  • Internal culture and brand alignment sessions
  • All-hands or town hall events

Each program is designed to support business momentum and strategic messaging.
How does GoGather make kickoffs engaging and impactful? We combine thoughtful agenda design, dynamic staging, creative branding, and interactive sessions to keep your team energized and focused. Whether it’s gamified breakouts, peer learning, recognition moments, or executive panels, we tailor every element to your team and culture.
Can GoGather help with content and speaker coordination? Yes. We assist with session planning, content structure, and coaching your presenters. We also handle logistics like A/V prep, rehearsal scheduling, slide formatting, and speech support to ensure everyone hits the stage with confidence.
What services does GoGather offer for kickoff meetings?

Our kickoff planning services include:

  • Agenda and content strategy
  • Venue sourcing and logistics
  • Production and staging
  • Branding and creative design
  • Registration and communications
  • On-site staffing and execution
  • Post-event surveys and reporting

We manage every detail from kickoff concept to final closeout.
Can GoGather incorporate team-building or social experiences into the kickoff? Absolutely. We love creating shared experiences that bond your team—whether it's a welcome party, interactive challenge, awards dinner, or off-site adventure. We build these elements to reinforce connection and amplify your company culture.
How far in advance should we plan a kickoff? We recommend starting at least 6–9 months in advance. For larger SKOs or multi-day events, 9-12 months is ideal to secure the right venue, develop engaging content, and coordinate all logistics effectively.
