Katapult Events President and Co-Founder Erik Johnson along with Co-Founders Scott Beelman and Jay Taylor created Katapult in 2019 to perfect the live events space in the direct selling industry.
Katapult is now leading direct sales companies into a post-pandemic era of hosting elite-level live events, which increase retention of the distributor base and loyal customer base while increasing the purchase power of promo packs. After the pandemic took over the world for more than two years, Katapult sees 2022 as the dawn of a new era in live events. What the pandemic allowed was time to conceptualize and develop fresh ideas, innovations and cutting-edge components for live events that everyone across the globe is so hungry for.
Johnson and the entire Katapult team more than understand what it takes to bring to life a company’s ambition to personally connect with their family of distributors, customers and corporate employees. Johnson was formerly the VP of Events for a Top 50 DSA company. He knows how to deliver because he has been in that side of the business. Everyone at Katapult pulls from their individual experiences in event production, collectively creating the precise experience their clients want for the greatest ROI.
“We have a keen understanding of things that are unique to direct sales,” Johnson said, “like recognition and compensation plans. We want to get in and understand: Why is that particular award important? How does the client award this rank versus that rank? Because recognition is what drives revenue. How does the client do promo packs today? Because we have some insight into what works and what doesn’t.”
Katapult clients hire the team to be production experts but often rely on the team as an internal partner, capable of assisting from the moment the event is conceived. Katapult offers the flexibility of being turnkey for every aspect of the event or taking on a more focused production role, with some companies’ needs landing somewhere in the middle. Katapult manages hotel and convention center space sourcing, contracts and minutia around food and beverage orders, security, signage and executive transportation as well as video content creation and scriptwriting. Whether a client contracts Katapult 12 months out or four months out, the same amount of work is done — at the same price.
