Sales Team Games

[YEM]

Hi Everyone,

Tomorrow is Friday and as its a quiet day for us, I'm going to start Fun Day Friday.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what 'games' I can do to get my sales team buzzing on a Friday!!!!!!

Ideas so far...(this is from friends in sales)

1. Don't let anyone sit until they make their first sale of the day
2. Raffle tickets - get one for each sale made then 'cash' em in for prizes at the end of the month

Any more....

Set up two teams, and every time one team get a sale they get to give the other team a forfeit.

the busiest sales day in any team or business genre that i have run is Friday.

potential customers and staff have that feel good day.

all i used to do is give me so many sales and they can go home early, i set the team a target rather than individual and it was great to see them acting as a team.

and you know every friday by 1.30pm there wasnt a person in site only me!

Hi,

If it were me then certainly anything offering a reward above what I would normally receive would get me going. I'm not sure about not letting anyone sit down until they have a sale. Is this focussing on the negative which is opposite to the atmosphere you want to create? It could be embarassing for the individual who is left standing which I suppose in some sales environments wouldn't be an issue. For me I think that it's better to focus on the success!

I love the raffle ticket idea and also the idea of creating a team target. I don't think the prizes have to be that good, just a bit of fun. We have had games in the past for getting sales where the prizes were furry dice and nodding dogs for the car! Although a bottle of bubbly is always well received. Be creative with the prizes, maybe give a team prize, pizza for 10 or something like that.

You could have a 'character' of the hour and everyone has to communicate in the style of that person for the hour. (not to the customers though).

With the raffle ticket idea you could set up a stall of cheap tacky ranging to good prizes like they do at some of the amusement arcades in Blackpool.

Sounds like you will have a fun day tomorrow! Let us know how it goes and if sales are up v other Fridays!

I used to work in a call centre and at times it was difficult to stay motivated. BUT we used to run a competition for the advisors where we would put a tick agianst their name for ever sale and the one witht eh most sales would get to go home 2 hrs early- worked every time!!

For those that under achieve though we would also run a few others to keep those who know they were not goignt o win motivated- bottles of wine and beer should get your team in a good mood ready for the weekend....

Hi Caroline,

I too feel that this isn't the best idea, its just something that a friend of mine said happens at her workplace! I'm going with the raffle idea - ill keep u posted...

Wire up car batteries to their chairs and for every 15 minutes that they don't make a sale then give them a blast. Fun for all the family.

Tickling is always fun as well.

(games on a Friday, whatever next - Jill, fetch the Twister)

Good job I don't work in sales... The one thing I hated about the corporate environment was talking to the sales force... I know they do a valuable job but the majority make PR's look like angels.

Far too stressful environment for me.
