Why contests work
Increase activities
Working in a high-velocity environment? Contests give employees that extra incentive and focus to reach and surpass their targets like never before.
It's an extrinsic motivator
With the promise of rewards and recognition, contests drive performance by creating achievable goals that employees strive to hit!
Promotes healthy competition
Contests are a great way of fostering friendly rivalry, celebrating shared success and creating a culture of continuous improvement.

Design your avatar to personalize your contest look
Employees can personalize how they appear on contests by creating their own avatar - bringing a splash of color and fun to the competition. Choose from an astronaut, a spaceship, or a good old regular human!
The perfect motivating tool for both sales and support teams
Sales contests get reps out of that sales slump
Everyone knows that salespeople have an inbuilt competitive streak. Contests tap into that mindset by driving even better performance and rewarding reps for their achievements.
Transform work into play with contests for support teams
With irregular shifts, repetitive tasks and difficult customers, working in support is tough. By holding contests, you give your agents the opportunity to spice up their day-to-day activity and to showcase the top service they are providing.

Struggling for inspiration? Here are some contest ideas
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.
