Sales Kickoffs (SKO)
The evening-one headline event: the show that makes day-two buzz louder than the quota announcement.
A polished comedy hypnosis show, with an optional When the Curtain Rises motivational keynote pairing, built for corporate audiences who have seen the usual entertainment and aren't in the mood for it. Nothing cringe, nothing sales-pitchy: just an hour your people can't stop talking about.
Your team has sat through a lot of team-building in their lives, and they can spot a cheesy icebreaker from three hotel ballrooms away. This is different: a comedy hypnosis show where they are the thing being watched, not a performer lecturing at them, plus an optional motivational keynote (When the Curtain Rises) on courage, nerves, and walking in when it matters. Same performer, one very memorable event.
The evening-one headline event: the show that makes day-two buzz louder than the quota announcement.
A daytime keynote paired with an evening comedy hypnosis show, one of the strongest attendance drivers for a closing night.
The reason your people actually show up to the holiday party this year.
A more intimate version built for executive teams: closer up, more mentalism, more customized.
Most conferences book a keynote and a performer separately. I offer them as a combo: a 45 to 60 minute delivery of my signature talk When the Curtain Rises (on courage, fear as a signal, and walking in when it matters) as your daytime programming, and the full-length comedy hypnosis show as your evening entertainment. Same performer, one contract, one COI, one check-in with your AV team, and a narrative arc across the day that almost nobody else in this category offers.
A one-page PDF you can forward straight to your committee or your boss, no follow-up call required to make the case.
Yes. Tell me your kickoff theme, your values language, and your internal references, and I'll weave them in. I won't ad-lib anything your team hasn't cleared.
No. Volunteers opt in and executives can stay seated if they'd rather. The show is built on moments that are funny with the volunteer, not at them.
U.S. and Canada by default. International is possible on request: let's talk timing.
Usually yes, with a short addendum. Ask up front.
Corporate dates start at $2,500. The keynote-plus-show combo carries a bundled rate that beats booking the two separately. Request a quote for your specific date and venue.
Happy to sign a mutual NDA before the advance call if your event or content is sensitive.
Tell me your date, audience, and venue. I'll reply within 24 hours with availability, a tailored pitch, and a clean quote, plus bundled pricing if you want the keynote too.
