Every sales manager or team lead loves having a good group of people working under them that work hard but also play hard. As a manager, you're always looking for something new and fun to do with them outside of work. Problem is, you've done them all. Escape room, team dinners, food yours, you know the rest. Well here's a new one: Take them to the big game! More importantly, tailgate, and here's why.
1. GREAT FOR TEAM MORALE
The tailgate gives your team something to look forward to and will always boost morale.
2. CONVERSATIONS GALORE
It's a natural environment for people to bounce around from conversation to conversation
3. PLENTY OF FOOD AND SNACKS
I mean, who doesn't like free food.
4. A COOLER FULL OF BEERS, WHITE CLAWS AND TONS OF ICE
Again, not much to explain here. Drink away!
5. A NEW SETTING
People are tired of doing fun things and events in the office. And even when they leave the office, it almost always ends up at a bar or restaurant. It's amazing how much fun you can have in a parking lot.
6. GAMES GAMES AND MORE GAMES
I mean you can't just sit there only eating and drinking all day right? (I could be convinced) But in the case of a great tailgate, you gotta keep the energy up. Put together a quick Cornhole tourney and invite others from neighboring tailgates. Not the Cornhole type? Then toss around the pigskin and show everybody why you should really be out on the field instead of the parking lot.
7. A DESIGNATED DRIVER
Lastly, have fun but be safe. Always have a responsible driver who takes one for the team and gets you all back home safe and sound.
Now that I have TOTALLY convinced you to take your team on a tailgate, here's everything you're going to need to make it the best.
