Why Sales Leaderboards Only Excite Your Top 3 Reps, and How to Wake Up the Rest of the Floor (Spec Blog + Founder Post for SmartWinnr)
Most sales contests start with a lot of noise in week one and go completely quiet by week four. Once the top two or three reps pull ahead, everyone in the middle does the math in their head, realizes they can't catch up, and stops caring about the scoreboard.
I wanted to look at sales gamification from the perspective of an average rep sitting in the middle of the pack. This sample includes both a full blog post and a short LinkedIn post written in a founder's voice for SmartWinnr. It focuses on a simple shift: what happens when you stop rewarding only final closed deals and start rewarding the small daily coaching habits that help ordinary reps win.
