CLIENT OVERVIEW

A leading tech firm in the quote-to-cash space engaged Agency Maison to orchestrate a transformative sales retreat for its top-performing account executives. The retreat aimed not only to reward the team for their outstanding achievements but also to foster deeper team bonding, strategic planning, and goal setting for the future. The venue chosen for this prestigious event was The Ritz-Carlton, Maui, a destination renowned for its unparalleled blend of luxury, inspiration, and relaxation.

CHALLENGE

The challenge -  To design an itinerary that seamlessly balanced relaxation with productive work sessions, ensuring that the sales team left Maui both rejuvenated and energized for the year ahead. We needed to cater to the diverse preferences of the team members by offering a harmonious mix of luxury, adventure, and business planning. Additionally, the logistics of coordinating travel, accommodations, activities, and meetings had to be flawlessly executed to create a seamless experience from start to finish.

STRATEGY & EXECUTION

Venue Selection and Accommodation:

Luxury Accommodations:

The resort’s tranquil environment provided the perfect setting for a retreat focused on both relaxation and growth. Each Account Executive (AE) was accommodated in an ocean-view suite, ensuring they experienced the utmost comfort and breathtaking views throughout their stay.
Personalized Welcome:
To set the tone for the retreat, each participant was greeted with a personalized welcome package in their suite, including branded polos, beach bags, koozies, all beach essentials, local treats, and a detailed itinerary of the retreat’s events. This thoughtful touch immediately immersed the team in the retreat experience.
