The Revenue Retreat · Bela Colina · Est 2024

Bring your revenue team to Portugal.

A focused week of work, workshops and adventure for remote SaaS revenue teams.

What this is

A working week in Portugal for your revenue team.

One week at Bela Colina for remote SaaS revenue teams — SDRs, AEs, CS, managers, leadership — out of Slack and Zoom, in the same room, working on how they sell.

The shape of the week

Part training. Part working week. Part team reset.

Morning

Work

Focused deep work blocks. Calls, demos, pipeline, customers.

Afternoon

Training

Live deal reviews, call breakdowns, workshops, roleplay.

Evening

Unwind

Long dinners, pool, river, hikes, the team back in one room.

Part working week

A desk you actually want to sit at.

Wooden designer desks. Proper ergonomic chairs. Wide windows that open onto the valley and the hills behind it. Multiple rooms so the team can spread out — calls in one, quiet work in another, group coworking in the main hall.

Fibre Wi-Fi over 1 Gbps across the whole house, Starlink as backup. Calls, demos, deploys — nothing drops. The week doesn't stall; pipeline keeps moving.

Part training

Train where the deals actually live.

Every day we spent time in deliberate practice: live deal reviews, recorded call breakdowns, discovery and demo roleplays, objection drills, and pricing conversations the team usually avoids.

Workshops cover the system you sell with — qualification, multi-threading, narrative, and the messaging that makes buyers care. Everything ties back to a deal that's open in your pipeline this quarter.

Part team reset

When the work stops.

The afternoons and evenings are how the team actually comes back together. Pool, off-road, river canyons, long dinners, slow afternoons in the garden under the vines.
