A Sales Meeting Activity That Actually Pays Off

High-energy. High-impact. Highly memorable.

Most sales meetings are packed with PowerPoints and coffee breaks. But what if your agenda included something that actually made your team better at closing deals?

If your sales meeting agenda is full of presentations and rah-rah moments, but still leaves your team stuck in old habits, it’s time for a smarter kind of session: one that energizes and equips them.

PokerDivas delivers a one-of-a-kind, high-impact experience that develops the mindset and skills of top closers.

We use the strategies behind poker—not to gamble, but to teach your team how to bet on themselves, read the room, and play to win.

Build a Smarter, Stronger Sales Team. One Hand at a Time

Whether you’re hosting 40 top producers or a 300-person national sales summit, PokerDivas programs are custom-designed to:

  • Strengthen negotiation and deal-closing confidence
  • Sharpen strategic thinking and decision-making under pressure
  • Teach teams how to decode buyer behavior and nonverbal cues
  • Boost assertiveness, risk tolerance, and professional presence

And here’s the best part: they won’t just hear about these skills, they’ll practice them in real time at the poker table. No experience needed.

What to Expect: A Proven, Hands-On Format

This is not a lecture. It’s not a slideshow. And it’s definitely not just for people who know how to play poker.

Here’s how the program works:

We connect the dots between poker strategy and sales performance.
Your team will learn how the tactics used by top poker players mirror high-stakes sales negotiations: reading people, managing risk, projecting confidence, and making bold plays.

We teach them how to play poker.
No experience required. We’ll break down the basics in an engaging, inclusive, and easy-to-follow format. Everyone will feel like they belong at the table.

We put it into action with live, guided play.
Participants get to apply what they’ve learned in a fun, friendly tournament-style environment that simulates the pressure and unpredictability of real sales conversations—minus the awkward role play.

Not Just Fun: It’s Professional Development with an Edge

Yes, it’s a blast.

But this is also a carefully designed, psychology-backed program that equips your team with practical skills they’ll take back to the workplace:

  • Handle high-stakes conversations with calm and confidence
  • Recognize and adapt to different negotiation styles
  • Push past hesitation and speak up when it counts
  • Build stronger rapport and quickly read buyer intent
  • Strengthen trust, drive, and camaraderie across the team

These aren’t abstract lessons. They’re immediately applicable, and they stick because your team experiences them firsthand at the table.

We’ve seen the impact firsthand with sales organizations in tech, finance, media, healthcare, and beyond. The results go far beyond the event itself.

Some comments on our sales meeting events:

I had a chance to see Ellen give a keynote speech. Of all the conference presentations I’ve ever attended this was by far the most unique. I learned so many valuable lessons in negotiating and business strategy and had a blast!

– Anya Chrisanthon, MVP of Sales

Who It’s For

  • Sales meetings and leadership summits
  • National and regional sales kickoff events
  • Incentive-based retreats or rewards experiences
  • Fast-growing or newly formed sales teams
  • Anyone responsible for revenue, negotiations, or client interaction

Note: This program is focused on internal development and sales team growth. If you’re looking for client-facing entertainment, we offer a separate program specifically for that.

Poker is inclusive, approachable, and universal. Most of our participants have never played before—and by the end, they’re bluffing, betting, and winning both in the game and in their mindset.

Let’s Raise the Stakes on Your Sales Meeting

We’ll work with you to design a program that fits your goals, timeline, and team. We can even help you align it with your incentive or rewards strategy.

Available for in-person, virtual, and hybrid formats. No gambling—just serious skill-building in disguise.

Let’s make this the most talked-about, results-driven session of your entire meeting.
