Morning madness 🥱

Reps bleary-eyed? Kickstart the day with a burst of productivity by completing specific tasks or hitting early morning goals.

Team vs Team 🥊

Split the office into two and see which team can reach the goal first. Based across multiple locations? This is a great way to spark a bit of cross-location competition!

Daily Challenge 🗓️

Have a specific activity that needs to be completed every shift? Make work fun by creating a challenge out of it.

Power Hour 💥

Motivating slipping at certain points of the day? Pick your KPI and give your employees an hour to hit that target.

March Madness 🏀

Create a bracket-style contest and pitch rep against rep! It's a great way for rookies to try their luck against the more established agents.

The Rejection ❌

Being told "no" is a part of a job for any sales rep. This contest rewards the reps' effort instead of their results by awarding the rep who has received the most rejections.
