The presenters were well-prepared, the breakout sessions were critical and insightful, and every aspect of the event felt seamless. It was informative, fun, and truly set a new standard for what a sales meeting should be.
The feedback I have received during the week in Napa and since our return home has been exceptional. Top shelf! You two are seasoned professionals. Everyone is asking how long we had been working together because you made the trip look so easy, so effortless, and you anticipated every detail. The location, the events, the meals, the wine, the premiums, the smiles, the curveballs…you crushed them all! Seriously, the experience in Napa set the bar high for our guests.
I just wanted to send an additional “THANK YOU” on behalf of Nikki and I for such an incredible adventure last week. Your trips are always fantastic, but you absolutely outdid yourself with this one, and we couldn’t have had a better time. None of the great experiences we all enjoyed would have been possible without all of your planning, hard work, and attention to detail; and I certainly wanted you to know how much we appreciated it- and you.
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the outstanding job you did in organizing our recent team meeting in Scottsdale. From the initial planning stages to the seamless execution, your team’s attention to detail and professionalism made all the difference. The venue, logistics, and overall experience exceeded my expectations.
I think it’s fair to say we have been looking forward to this trip for a long time with high expectations and those were completely blown away! Such a great weekend! We truly apricate all you do, the personal touches you all bring were perfect! Looking forward to seeing all the pictures.
“It’s partners like PowerPlay that have contributed to the success of who we are today.”
“I’ve attended hundreds of supplier events. PowerPlay’s attention to detail, creativity, and management team exceed my expectations every time.”
