Founded in 2002, Corporate Rewards have spent years helping businesses achieve greater growth and success by providing a broad range of incentive, motivation, reward, and event programmes, which helps businesses foster a more driven and engaged workforce.

Getting the best performance out of your staff and sales partners is critical for any business looking to boost their sales and potential for growth.

One way to motivate your staff and get the most from your teams is to run a sales incentive. These drive performance by offering staff rewards for doing well and reaching goals.

For small businesses incentives can be a fantastic way to stimulate growth and help your staff really align with the goals of your business.

Motivate staff

Sales incentives are great for motivating your staff. They encourage healthy competition and provide goals for staff to work towards.

With the right rewards and incentives, which can be provided by specialists in motivating and engaging staff, you can help your staff to engage with their role beyond just earning their pay cheque and getting them excited about trying to prove how good they are in their role.

Your rewards could be themed around the incentive your business is running, a particular seasonal event or personalised to appeal directly to individual team members. Personalised rewards are perfect for smaller teams as it allows you to create something more personally tailored to your current staff and directly engage and motivate them.

In a smaller business this can help your staff to really push hard to achieve sales goals which in turn can be a huge boost to your business and its ability to grow.

As your business grows your incentives can scale, reaching wider numbers of people or individual teams and departments, allowing them to remain a versatile tool however large your business becomes.

Stimulate growth

Your staff and sales channel partners being motivated and engaged with your business can help them to be much more enthusiastic and effective when it comes to offering your services to customers.

As your business is growing and trying to establish a position in the market having your business front of mind with channel partners and staff that are actively engaged and motivated when increasing sales can be hugely beneficial.

Incentives can underpin this, rewarding high performing staff and partners can help to encourage and maintain consistent levels of performance, which for smaller businesses in potentially competitive environments is crucial.

Align goals

Incentives are a fantastic way to build brand loyalty and reduce staff churn. Rewarding staff helps them to feel like a much more integral part of your business and that their efforts are appreciated.

Creating this closeness with a brand helps staff and sales partners to better understand and align with your business goals and ideas.

This helps keep your brand in mind when it comes to external sales teams recommending products and services to their customers. At the same time your internal teams are more motivated to work for a business who’s vision they are aligned with.

For smaller businesses this is doubly important as retaining staff helps to reduce recruitment costs and can also help to identify the people who will grow alongside your business.

Sales incentives meet a variety of needs, helping businesses to drive continued success and getting the best performance possible from their staff.
