The known positive effects of leaderboards include heightening user engagement, enhancing performance, and increasing participation.

For example, if you are looking for a creative way to motivate your sales team and improve performance, just jump on the sales leaderboard bandwagon, which has been picking up a lot of steam lately.

Sales leaderboards will help you keep your reps accountable, boost their productivity levels, and most importantly, help them close and win more deals than they ever have before. A sales leaderboard could be measured by Win Rate, by Leads Won, by Value Won, and by Activities. Just think of the data and the way that data could be sliced and diced by sales rep, and sales manager if you are running multiple sales teams.

Dare I say it, a sales leaderboard will also help the lower performing people work much harder to move up the ranks or help these people make a decision to leave your organisation so you can then replace them with fresh new better and hungrier sales people.

I would also recommend that you also run leaderboards in other areas of your business too, to help drive user engagement, enhance performance, and increase participation. These areas could be in your support team, warehouse and distribution teams, finance team, and consultants. Overall why don’t you also consider measuring your customer satisfaction on a leaderboard?
