Sales leaders resort to a lot of conventional methods to motivate their sales teams, such as comprehensive training programs, workshops and on-field training. However, they’re largely ineffective, time-consuming, and expensive propositions. Sales gamification is a brand-new strategy that is emerging as a valuable tool that is built on the basic psychological principles of motivation.

Sales gamification is the process of applying game-design elements and features to sales and includes awarding points for certain successful actions, arranging regular competitions, and rewarding sales reps for their performance and is majorly used for turning pipeline tasks, like calling prospects, setting meetings, and closing deals, into a game.

Preset day gamification typically uses technology and interface that builds a game-like simulation for sales reps to “play” on. Here’s an example of Compass live in action.

How does gamification help the sales reps sell more?

It is because gamification creates challenges, quests, and journeys for sales teams to participate in and reward them for completion. Reps can monitor their progress on a leaderboard and understand how teams work together to meet sales goals. And most importantly, their intermediate goals are recognized with instant rewards and payouts.
