The only offsite with a positive ROI.

BELA COLINA, PORTUGAL · 5–7 DAYS · ONE TEAM
5–7 days at Bela Colina in central Portugal. Your team keeps the customer-facing work that matters, trains on what actually needs improving, and still gets the week away together.

Why in-person

Get the team together long enough to actually change something.

Revenue teams rarely get several uninterrupted days together to work on how they actually sell.

At Bela Colina, you have time to work on live deals, train properly, fix things together and still enjoy being away as a team.

It works particularly well for distributed and hybrid teams, teams going through a change, or established teams that have gradually developed different habits and need a reset.

Format

The shape of the week.

Length
5–7 days
Team size
Typically 10–15 people
Location
Bela Colina, central Portugal

We build the week around your team's actual calendar.

  1. Work

    Keep the work that matters

    Customer calls, demos, live opportunities and anything else that genuinely needs to happen that week. We try to clear out most of the internal noise.

  2. Train

    Train and coach

    We agree the priorities beforehand, then work from the team's actual deals, calls, methodology and recurring problems. Expect whiteboarding, call reviews, coaching, workshops and roleplay.

  3. Enjoy

    Go and enjoy being there

    Pool, river beaches, long dinners, mountain roads, outdoor activities, wellness treatments or simply some unstructured time together.

Work, train, have fun

Keep the customer-facing work. Drop most of the internal noise.

The retreat is not five days away from the business. Reps can still take important calls, run demos and move live opportunities forward.

The difference is what happens around that work. We can review the call afterwards, coach the deal, practise the next conversation and use what is actually happening in the pipeline as training material.

What the week is for

Do some proper work. Train properly. Come back better as a team.

The point is simple: make progress on real work, practise what the team needs to get better at and agree how you want to work together afterwards.

And spending five days eating, swimming, exploring and hanging out together usually does more for the team than another organised bonding exercise.

Run it as a standalone reset, or use the retreat as the most intensive part of a longer Revenue Enablement programme.

Outside the work

And yes, it should also be a great week.

You're in central Portugal. It would be ridiculous not to enjoy it.

Once the work is done, there is a pool, river beaches, mountain roads, long dinners and plenty to do outside the house. We leave enough space in the week for the team to actually spend time together.
