I worked as a sales manager for many years and love to offer contests as a form of encouragement. Currently, I run more than one contest for my team. I reward them with personal PSA reassignments for reaching and maintaining EA status. I give them even more reassignments for reaching TL status. I also have a contest that I offer to anyone PSA or CSA's that generate new sales on Triple Clicks.
The problem that I have found is that most of my PSA's do not sign up for the contests. I find that I really have to go out of my way to email the team and promote the contests and tell them where to sign up. Even then, most do not reply! I find that contests just aren't on the radar of most of my team.
To make the contests do their job in encouraging team members and rewarding their efforts, I watch their progress and go ahead and reward them with reassignments anyway! My PSA's appreciate their new downline members and I get credit for the reassignments in the form of VP. It is a win-win for all of us. The reassigned PSA's are still in my downline so I still benefit from their progress in SFI.
I believe that contests are underutilized in SFI. No one in my upline offers any that I can find on their leadership pages. I think contests can offer encouragement to team members and can break the monotony in any business. I encourage you to start and promote a contest for your team.
