Your all-star sales reps only make up part of your team
Your top-tier sales reps exhibit the right habits for success, but at best, they make up only 10% of your team. To enhance team performance, empower every seller by setting attainable goals and incorporating gamification strategies.

Banking exclusively on top sales reps incurs higher retention costs
Our recent study of sales leaders reveals that 42% of sales managers identify retaining star contributors as a major challenge. Exclusively relying on top sales reps increases retention costs. Instead of focusing on one group, managers can use limited budgets to motivate the middle and low performers, whose individual gains collectively result in a significant team win.
Turn your low performers into your biggest opportunity
Unlock the true potential of your entire workforce by reinforcing good behavior and gamifying their day-to-day activities to motivate reps who need a little nudge.
Gamification boosts sales performance among middle and bottom performers
Running competitions and gamifying sales team’s behaviors significantly amplifies pre-sales and upsell activities for middle and bottom performers, giving sales managers more opportunities to propel lower performers into top-tier contributors.
Reinforce positive behaviors
Instead of solely relying on dollars sold, sales managers can creatively use KPIs to encourage activity and reinforce best practices. Start with calls and quotes to get a glimpse into the pipeline, providing early wins for reps. Expand goals to include key practices for success: referrals, events, and social media activity.
Visualize goal progression in real time
Financial services sales managers often work with technology that doesn’t allow for real-time KPI tracking. Instead, they spend hours compiling results that they share monthly or quarterly, well after they could use that data to motivate or coach middle performers.
Tap into your reps’ competitive spirit
Competitions have long been a cornerstone for sales managers, and they prove especially powerful for sales reps, known for their goal-oriented nature. But surprisingly, sales agents ranked competitions and associated elements, such as leaderboards, as even more impactful motivators than traditional cash bonuses.
When top talent is a flight risk, focus on motivating the middle instead
Keeping your best salespeople on board is hard in the best of times. Instead of trying to hold onto superstars, motivate a larger roster of middle performers whose individual gains add up to a big team win.
