Here’s a long list of simple and effective incentives for your team.
At the end of an incentive program, it is important to evaluate how successful it was. Did you get the results you wanted? One of the best ways to judge the effectiveness of the program, in addition to considering your own observations, is to obtain feedback from the representatives and administrators involved. You want to be sure that your instructions were communicated clearly and at the correct intervals, that the rewards were engaging and sparked interest and momentum, that your team members felt supported and prepared to take on the challenges presented, that the program elevated morale, team effort, energy and creativity, etc.
What were the weaknesses, if any? Did the program meet or not meet the expectations of the participants? And of course you have to consider the ultimate impact on sales. Another important thing that cannot be overlooked is whether there may have been some outside influence over which you had no control. For example, has the industry experienced an increase in prices? Was it the product or service newOr has there been a consumer awareness and recognition for a long time? Have there been fluctuations in the company’s marketing campaigns? All of these questions can be basically broken down into different areas, such as goals, budget, or administration. In each area, identify what worked and what didn’t so that you have concrete information to help you develop your next incentive program.
