Headed off to San Diego for SKO
Feb. 9th, 2026 09:26 amThis morning I'm headed out on a business trip to San Diego. This is our annual Sales Kickoff (SKO). It'll be 3½ days of training, practice, and review for selling over the next 11½ months.
I am so happy this SKO is in San Diego and not Las Vegas. like the last several years. I hate Vegas. I hate being in a humongous casino-hotel where it's almost a mile walk from sleeping rooms to meeting rooms, with a huge smoky casino to cross through in the middle. The only think I like about SKOs in Vegas is that at least the food is good at those humongous casino-hotels. (It's good... though it's horrendously expensive.) I've always said I'd be just as happy meeting for SKO at an airport Marriott in Nebraska... as long as the food is good. Well, now we're in San Diego, so it's like a dream come true. And more, because the food should be pretty good there, too.
