# Sales competition dashboard examples

A sales competition dashboard keeps the whole team updated on any competitions or gamification you're running — who's leading, what it takes to win, and how much time is left. A live screen means no one needs to ask for an update, and the pressure stays on throughout the day, not just at the end.

### Sales leaderboard dashboard

Perhaps the most common form of sales competition is the basic leaderboard. In the dashboard example above, a team of realtors are responsible for selling properties in a new housing development. In addition to the usual financial incentives for realtors, the team leader has created a sales dashboard to encourage healthy competition between the team. Especially for longer projects, this creates more regular opportunities for recognition. In this case, they have created a Realtor of the Month (ROTM) competition.

### Individual performance dashboard

Some sales teams take the competition dashboard one step further, using images and visual elements to create a stronger sense of ownership and competition. In the example above, the sales team is tracking both cumulative and weekly performance. However, they have also devoted a large proportion of the dashboard to highlighting the individual performance of salespeople. The sparklines also help you see how individual performance is changing over time.

### The raffle (...or was that putt-putt golf?) dashboard

Not all sales competitions need to be as direct as a sales leaderboard or Sales Person of the Month. Introducing an element of chance can make sales competitions even more engaging. One way to do this is by creating a competition where good performance (such as a sale, a new lead, or even something non-financial like a positive customer review) wins a ticket in a raffle, which is then entered into a prize draw at the end of the week.

In the dashboard example above, the Sales Manager has taken it one step further. Every sale above $5k wins a golf ball. At the end of the week, the team plays one (office-based) hole of putt-putt golf. The more golf balls you have, the more chances to get a hole-in-one and win the grand prize.

These competitions might sound slightly over-elaborate. But silly games like these can lift morale and keep a team motivated. And while chance elements (like raffle tickets) still encourage great performance, they mean everyone in the team has a chance to win – even the less experienced guys.

Splitting your salesforce into two and pitting them against each other for a one-off competition is another fun way to shake things up. You can draw teams out of a hat or even assign captains to pick teams, draft-style. As well as challenging your team to approach work in a different way, it involves all members (including more junior members) and gets different people working together.
