Make The Shot

A good contest will give each participant a feeling of control and assurance that if they “make the shot” they’ll reap the reward.

Move The Middle

“Move the Middle.” Pay attention to the middle 80%. This group represents the majority of your sales team and biggest gain potential.

Theme It

To make a contest more fun and memorable, create a contest theme. Incorporate the images and color scheme in your contest communication.

What’s it about?

Are you a business owner, sales manager, or marketing director whose primary responsibility is to drive sales revenue?   Bottom-line—you need to “hit the numbers.”

Of the many tools and techniques at your disposal for achieving sales results, the sales contest is a popular and effective option. Running a sales contest not only energizes your sales force—it boosts sales and profits over a specific, usually short, period of time.

This eBook provides practical advice on designing and implementing a sales contest to drive results and meet your organization’s goals.

    I was strictly looking for sales contest themes when came across this book. Thank goodness I did. It put things into perspective before I launched the contest. I must admit that I almost fell into the trap of having only one winner. By designing the contest using the ideas in the book, it really helped me run a contest that our reps loved and produced so great results. Thank you MArk and Marcy for the information.
