This blog is about sales incentive contests
Here are some sales contest ideas to help your sales team produce more:
df Attention To The Winners - A presentation for the sales contest winner in front of everyone is 100x more effective than dropping an envelope on a desk. Fuel the fire, how you pay is just as important as what you pay.
df
The Search for Missing Sales - Challenge your team with a sales contest to find new business with old customers. This can be a great way to reconnect to past loyal customers.
Personal Best - Run a sales contest to record the highest sales each employee ever has posted during a single shift. Now have a contest to see who can exceed their personal bests. Be sure to post the results and recognize and reward the team and individual achievers.
Raffles - Go to a stationery or party store and purchase a package of raffle tickets. Every time a sales agent reaches one of a variety of targeted goals, give that person a raffle ticket. The more they earn, the better their chances of winning whatever it is you raffle off in a monthly sales contest drawing.
Not Always About the Sales - You can also base sales contests on prospecting activities. After all, these are the actions that ultimately lead to sales.
df Run Short-Term Sales Contests - Instead of a single extended event, limit the term of each competition to no more than 30 to 90 days. Otherwise, you’ll lose the enthusiasm you hoped to generate.
df Interim Winners - For sales contests that last longer than two weeks, weekly leaders should win recognition and small awards. All-or-nothing contests generate way too many losers.
df Spousal Prizes - Spousal encouragement is a great motivator. Prizes that include the agent's spouse such as weekend trips, event tickets, or vacations can bring the sales contest home (literally).
df Post Status - Let your producers know where they stand and help foster competition. Display a schedule of all sales contest participants in the order of their progress.
df Avoid Post-Contest Let-Down - When there are winners, there are inevitably losers. Motivate the non-winners by introducing a new sales contest to strive for.
df
Divide by 3 - Create a sales contest by dividing your sales team into smaller groups of 3 to stimulate competition among the groups and a sharing of ideas and coaxing from teammates.
