Top performers are motivated by incentives, while the rest of the team isn&#8217;t engaged since they can&#8217;t picture themselves in that situation. 70% of sales teams either run or plan to run sales incentive programs. &nbsp;Creating healthy competition within the sales teams can significantly increase results. Contests can be used to motivate employees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are nine sales contest ideas to increase revenue and motivate your team to achieve your goals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong style=\"font-size: 19px\">1) Lead Conversion:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"697\" height=\"297\" src=\"https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lead-Conversion.png\" alt=\"Lead Conversion\" class=\"wp-image-10579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lead-Conversion.png 697w, https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lead-Conversion-300x128.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The winner of this sales competition is the person or group who converts the most leads into sales during a specific timeframe. Since leads are supplied equally and at random to sales representatives, this sales game can be won by the Sales rep who receives more high-quality <a href=\"https:\/\/app.helloleads.io\/index.php\/app\/account\/register\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"leads (opens in a new tab)\">leads<\/a> than the others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong style=\"font-size: 19px\">2) Buddy up<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make use of the buddy system. The top sales rep should be paired with the least sales performer. This exercise will help the lesser performers to understand what makes their more successful teammates so successful and will increase the team\u2019s synergy. At the end of the month reward the team that does maximum sales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"callto_action_box_ yello\">\n<div class=\"callto_action_box_content_\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/app.helloleads.io\/index.php\/app\/account\/register\" title=\"Try HelloLeads CRM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"307\" src=\"https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/HelloLeads-CRM-blog-ad-post-19.09.2022_v2-1-1024x307.png\" alt=\"HelloLeads CRM \" style=\"border-radius:16px\" class=\"wp-image-10594\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/HelloLeads-CRM-blog-ad-post-19.09.2022_v2-1-1024x307.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/HelloLeads-CRM-blog-ad-post-19.09.2022_v2-1-300x90.png 300w, https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/HelloLeads-CRM-blog-ad-post-19.09.2022_v2-1-768x230.png 768w, https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/HelloLeads-CRM-blog-ad-post-19.09.2022_v2-1.png 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<span class=\"call_to_action_overly_\" style=\"background-color:#FFDC67\"><\/span>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong style=\"font-size: 19px\">3) Highest revenue contest<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The person who closes the maximum number of deals or generates the highest revenue wins a contest. Historically, sales competitions have been based on this idea. Such Sales contests should be run for each quarter or fiscal year, depending on the duration of the Sales cycle.&nbsp;&nbsp; Because someone who has had a good month in terms of achieving his budget may come back with lots of enthusiasm to achieve much more.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prizes for winning this contest should be worthwhile. Incentives and paid leaves are excellent rewards to boost morale among sales reps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong style=\"font-size: 19px\">4) Leave Early Friday<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The\nconcept of a team-based competition can be applied to a weekly campaign that\nencourages collaboration and mentorship amongst newer and more experienced\nsales representatives. Each week, set a sales metric such as leads generated,\ncalls made, deals closed, or total sales revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All members of the winning team get to leave early on the Friday after the competition. At the conclusion of each fiscal quarter, the winning team is even allowed to take an entire Friday off. Reps frequently give it their all, to avoid disappointing their team, as a &nbsp;time off incentive is at stake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong style=\"font-size: 19px\">5) Customer Review Contest<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"697\" height=\"297\" src=\"https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Customer-Review-Contest.png\" alt=\"Customer Review Contest\" class=\"wp-image-10580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Customer-Review-Contest.png 697w, https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Customer-Review-Contest-300x128.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A customer\nreview contest requires a little front-end work because the reps need to be\nable to easily obtain reviews, whether they are good or bad. Creating a\ncustomer survey or taking advantage of an existing survey process is the\neasiest way to achieve this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It encourages\nsales representatives to provide more than just product sales and to be\nprepared for feedback on their customer service, whether positive or negative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong style=\"font-size: 19px\">6) Scavenger Hunt<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Members of several sales teams specialize in marketing or selling to a particular\nclient or item. Scavenger hunt sales competitions inspire your sales\nrepresentatives to work together and make use of their unique skills. Objectives\nmay include achieving a certain revenue goal, selling a specific product, or\nachieving a certain number of upsells. Collaboration, motivation, and sales will\nnaturally increase as the team works together to complete their scavenger hunt\nobjectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong style=\"font-size: 19px\">7) The Most Improved<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A better challenge can help\nindividual sales reps to raise the bar of their performance. You will contrast\na performance metric used in a prior period with one used in this sales\ncompetition based on activity or production over a month, quarter, or year. Instead\nof competing against other people or teams, each rep competes against herself\/himself.\nAt the end of the competition, the person with the highest improvement wins the\nprize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong style=\"font-size: 19px\">8) Salesperson of the Month<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"697\" height=\"297\" src=\"https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Salesperson-of-the-Month\ufeff.png\" alt=\"Salesperson of the Month\ufeff\" class=\"wp-image-10581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Salesperson-of-the-Month\ufeff.png 697w, https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Salesperson-of-the-Month\ufeff-300x128.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get inventive and set your sights\non something special, such as the highest revenue generated, the most positive\nor negative customer evaluations, or the most helpful coach for the other sales\nrepresentatives. No matter how you define and recognize success, the winning\nsales professional will always appreciate having their name and picture on\ndisplay for an entire month in the office. Typically, the sales representative with\nthe highest sales revenue wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong style=\"font-size: 19px\">9) Travelling Trophy <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A trophy to display on their desk is given to the salesperson\nwho generates the most sales during a particular period or timeframe. As long\nas they put out their best effort, the trophy will be theirs to keep. The\nwinning rep takes the trophy and puts it on display at their desk after achieving\nthe highest revenue every single month.&nbsp; A\ntraveling trophy program is a perfect forum for public recognition that\nmotivates your entire team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"callto_action_box_ yello\">\n<div class=\"callto_action_box_content_\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/app.helloleads.io\/index.php\/app\/account\/register\" title=\"Try HelloLeads CRM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"307\" src=\"https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/HelloLeads-CRM-blog-ad-post-19.09.2022_v2-2-1024x307.png\" alt=\"HelloLeads CRM\" style=\"border-radius:16px\"  class=\"wp-image-10597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/HelloLeads-CRM-blog-ad-post-19.09.2022_v2-2-1024x307.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/HelloLeads-CRM-blog-ad-post-19.09.2022_v2-2-300x90.png 300w, https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/HelloLeads-CRM-blog-ad-post-19.09.2022_v2-2-768x230.png 768w, https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/HelloLeads-CRM-blog-ad-post-19.09.2022_v2-2.png 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><span class=\"call_to_action_overly_\" style=\"background-color:#FFDC67\"><\/span>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong style=\"font-size: 19px\">Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Incentives and rewards can accelerate both organizational and individual performance through competitions.
