How to narrow the list

1. Name the outcome. Motivation and sales lift point toward incentive firms. Alignment and team connection point toward an offsite planner.
2. Count the travelers. Thousands of participants across countries need a global firm. A few dozen to a couple hundred don't.
3. Insist on itemized costs. Whoever you shortlist, ask for per-person line items and the management fee.
4. Confirm on-site staffing. Know who's there and how to reach them during the event.
