Sales Games to Motivate Employees

As a sales team leader, it's your job to find new and exciting ways to keep your sales representatives engaged.

Fortunately, there are many fun ways to motivate employees in sales.

For example, you can incorporate gaming elements into your processes and strategies to motivate sales reps. Many enterprises today engage employees with Centrical’s gamification platform, which offers frontline employees guided performance improvement opportunities through microlearning and coaching powered by artificial intelligence.

Some of the most exciting and engaging games you can incorporate into your strategies to motivate your sales team include Bingo, leaderboards, mystery prize boxes, themed contests, treasure hunts, and team challenges.

 

Sales Bingo

Bingo is a card game in which players mark off numbers on game boards as the numbers are drawn randomly by the caller. The goal is to mark off five numbers in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line first to win. 

Use this game to keep your sales reps motivated by creating bingo cards with different sales-related tasks like closing a deal of over $5,000, getting twenty referrals, or setting up ten meetings with new prospects.

The goal of using this sales game is to encourage employees to complete tasks on the bingo cards that relate to their work responsibilities. Whoever completes the tasks first wins a prize. 

This game encourages friendly competition among sales reps and ensures that tasks are completed within their stipulated time. It also helps sales agents meet their targets!

 

Sales Leaderboard

A sales leaderboard is a visual display or chart used by companies to track and rank the performance of their sales representatives. It usually displays various metrics, such as total sales, revenue generated, deals closed, and other pertinent performance indicators.

You can use a leaderboard to inspire and incentivize your sales team by promoting a competitive work environment and recognizing top performers. Simply set up a leaderboard in the office where you can track everyone’s sales performance.

Use the data on the leaderboard to reward with incentives or shoutouts to top performers on a weekly or monthly basis. It’s also suitable for the gamification of workplace training where employees climb up the chart at different phases of their training.

 

Themed Sales Tournaments

You can hold tournaments around sales themes like ‘Race to the Top,’ where sales agents climb a step up the ladder whenever they accomplish sales targets like closing deals, scheduling prospect meetings, and making the biggest sale within a designated time.

The goal is to achieve the sales targets and objectives attached to the theme. This is a fun and engaging way to motivate your workers to put in more effort.

 

Mystery Prize Boxes

Set up a mystery prize box in your office where each sales rep can draw a prize whenever they accomplish certain tasks. This is a simple but fun way to reward small wins–there is an instant reward for every achievement.

 

Treasure Hunts

Treasure hunts are a creative and exciting way to encourage your sales team to relentlessly pursue their targets. You can create a treasure map at the workplace with several sales checkpoints and markers.

Everyone must complete a set of sales tasks to move forward on the map and find the hidden treasures. This idea gamifies complex sales processes by incorporating a sense of fun and adventure.

 

Spin the Wheel

This involves creating a spinning wheel that points to different prizes like gift cards, additional time off, bonuses, and other incentives. Your sales employees spin the wheel after accomplishing set sales tasks and goals to win prizes. It motivates workers by providing them with instant rewards for their hard work.
