R&R 2023 | Our Exciting Punta Cana Retreat!

At Smart Circle, the independent sales companies we work with, our executives, team leaders and business partners continuously impress and inspire us. We always strive to deliver the best face-to-face marketing and in-person sales solutions. As a result, we can meet and exceed the expectations of our clients, ranging for the world’s leading brands, top retailers, and leaders in emerging markets. Every year, we celebrate our dedication and passion with an R&R event for our company, partners, and clients.

smart circle RR event

This year, we were delighted to host our R&R retreat in beautiful Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. We were met by a Caribbean climate, white-sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and blissful tropical scenery; it was the perfect setting for connecting, establishing bonds that will last a lifetime, and simply having some well-deserved fun.

 

We wanted to ensure everyone felt appreciated and valued with our 2023 R&R =, which inspired us to host networking and team bonding events, so individuals had a chance to learn about and from each other.

 

As with each R&R, we recognized leaders from the independent sales network for their exemplary achievements. Additionally, we decided to do something special for truly outstanding Smart Circle team members! We recognized three colleagues for their professionalism, hard work, and unwavering commitment to face-to-face marketing and in-person sales.
