Importance of Offering Team Incentives

If your team is growing but not staying motivated, one of the best ways to kick them into gear is to offer an incentive. By offering an incentive you are not only helping your team stay motivated, but in return helping your own business. Working towards a tangible goal can be a very powerful thing!

Here are some ideas for goals you can set for your team:

- Top monthly sales
- Top quarterly sales
- Most recruits in one month
- Reaching a set sales goal in a month
- Reaching personal goals
- Advancing in company ranking

Incentives come in many forms. While many would appreciate a company discount, others may like different types of gifts. After all, being in the company they are already getting products at a discount, right?

Gifts do not always have to be expensive, but should reflect the goal you have set for them. If the prize is offered monthly, the gift should be small. If it's a larger, long term goal, something a tad more expensive would be better. Remember though, it's the thought that counts and what appears to be expensive doesn't have to BE expensive.

Some ideas for incentives include:

- Candles
- Gift Certificates
- Jewelry
- Products from your other businesses
- Personalized Products
