Of course you compensate them appropriately and provide regular recognition for their service, but if you\u2019d like to get the most from your team, you\u2019ll need to provide creative incentives that go beyond standard rewards. Here are ten <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paperdirect.com\/recognition\/certificate-papers\/standard-certificates\/sales-award-traditional-certificates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sales recognition<\/a> ideas designed to keep your team whistling while they work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Shoutout Board\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go a little old school and tack a bulletin board to your office wall. each week recognize someone for an achievement. Whether it&#8217;s straight up sales goals, shortest to close, had work, or another recognizable goal, giving them a shout out is a great way to recognize sales employees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Upgraded Work Gear<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one is kind of a win-win for your salesperson. If someone makes a big sale, why not give them a new phone or computer? Not only will your employee appreciate the new toy, your client will appreciate the fact that your salesperson is handling their account with state-of-the-art technology. If a little inter-office jealousy happens to breed some friendly competition, all the better.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Go With A Gadget <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These days, everyone has a hobby, and every hobby necessitates some kind of gadget. If you\u2019re looking to recognize a salesperson\u2019s hard work, find out what their hobbies are and then get them a little gadget. In other words, get your employee something they\u2019d want, but they\u2019d never buy for themselves. They\u2019ll be grateful for the personal approach to recognizing their sales work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>A Trip<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one is obviously on the pricey side of things, but if you\u2019re really ready to shine down some affection on one of your high-performing salespeople, consider springing for a trip for them and their spouse. You can bet a \u00a0paid all-expenses vacation is something they won\u2019t forget for years to come, and you really can\u2019t put a price on that kind of incentive. It doesn\u2019t have to be a two-week getaway to Europe, but a night or two at a nearby vacation destination will certainly demonstrate your appreciation. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Bring In Food For Everyone<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking to single out someone\u2019s performance, but you\u2019d also like to help build a little office camaraderie, consider ordering a meal for the entire staff. When everyone is milling around, enjoying their free eats, take a moment to give credit for the lunch to the specific individual you\u2019re trying to praise. They\u2019ll look like a hero in front of their coworkers and you\u2019ll look like the coolest boss on the planet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Show The Winner You Value Them<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re trying to instigate a little competition among your sales staff (which is never a bad thing), why not single out your highest performing salesperson by having a semi-extravagant lunch prepared and delivered directly to their desk. You can bet your other employees will take note.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Tickets To a Weekday Matinee<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good movie can be a great stress reliever, as can a little time out of the office on an otherwise mundane workday. When you\u2019re the boss that combines the two, then you can bet your employee will take note. Nothing says, \u201cthanks for the hard work,\u201d like the implication that you\u2019re employee has things so well handled that they can take a few hours to enjoy it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>One Word \u2026 Beer<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The headline here says it all. Few rewards pack quite the same punch as the gift of beer. Whether it\u2019s a six pack at the end of the week for your top earner or a case for everyone who deserves a little recognition, beer is one gift that rarely, if ever, fails. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Say \u2018Thank You\u2019 With a Certificate <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You would be utterly amazed how far a private or public \u201cthank you\u201d will go with your employees. It\u2019s cheap, it\u2019s easy, and it will be immensely appreciated. Look them in the eye and proclaim your appreciation for their hard work with a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paperdirect.com\/Standard-Certificates\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">certificate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; you\u2019ll never regret it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>A Night Out On The Town<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spring for dinner for two at a five-star restaurant. Maybe throw in some extra dough for babysitting money, if applicable. Rent a limo. Really show your salesperson the recognition they deserve. A fun night out on the town with their spouse is just the ticket when you\u2019re looking to incentivize your sales team.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It requires ongoing efforts to keep your company\u2019s sales force motivated and closing new clients.
