Goal: To encourage reps to book more meetings (first-time, follow-up, closing, or all. You choose.)
Duration: 2 weeks
Teams: Individual
Points: 2 points for the first-time meeting, 1 point for follow-up, 3 points for closing
Winners: The person who books the most meetings by the end of 2 weeks wins the competition. Have first, second and third winners.
Prize: Take the winners out for a day at a race track (Be it race cars, rallycross, dirt bikes, horses, dogs, or something else). Races are a great place to have tons of fun and build team spirit and great memories.
Competition Theme: Run a horse race or car race-themed competition. Put up a car race-themed leaderboard where you represent each rep’s progress with a car.

Winner: Team with the largest cabin (most total meetings booked) at the end of 2 weeks.
