The only off-site with a positive ROI.
5–7 days in central Portugal for SaaS revenue teams. Work, train, have fun — not a holiday, not a normal work week.
Plan your retreat →A counterbalance to remote work.
Distributed revenue teams move fast on Slack and Zoom, but the human muscle — trust, candour, real feedback — atrophies in tiles. Research keeps saying what teams already feel: the relationships built in the same room are what hold the rest of the year together.
The retreat is the structured version of that. A working week where the team is physically together, doing real work, with deliberate coaching and deliberate downtime.
The shape of the week.

Calls
The team's normal work runs from the coworking room — calls, demos, customer conversations.
- Afternoon
Live coaching
Deal reviews, call breakdowns, roleplays and workshops on the team's actual pipeline.
- Evening
Something fun
Buggy race tours through forest tracks, river beach excursions, paintball in an abandoned mountain village.
Pipeline keeps moving.
Designer desks, ergonomic chairs, fibre Wi-Fi over 1 Gbps with Starlink backup. Calls, demos and deploys run from the house — nothing drops, nothing stalls.
Afternoons collapse the gap between selling and coaching: real deals from this week, broken down with the people who own them.
The team leaves with a skill upgrade — and a renewed energy to work together.
It's deliberately not a "let's all relax in Portugal" trip. Mornings are real work. Afternoons are real coaching. Evenings are real fun — the kind that bonds a team that mostly sees each other through a webcam.
The retreat can be embedded into an ongoing program — for example as the immersive layer on top of Revenue Enablement or David & I.
Bela Colina.
Sixteen bedrooms, indoor and outdoor working spaces, a large dining area, a pool, indoor and outdoor workshop and workout areas, and a kitchen running on local produce.
A working week in Portugal, designed around how your revenue team actually sells.
