Sales teams on Top of the World & Top of the League

With an estimated 16 million people expected to watch at least one World Cup match, SilentManager, the fantasy games specialist, has drawn upon itís extensive knowledge of online interactive communities to help increase product sales. SilentManager have developed an innovative new slant on the traditional sales league, with a footballing twist, ready in time for the World Cup and ready to get staff focused on their goals.

Using their vast knowledge of creating ëof the shelfí fantasy football games for corporate clients, SilentManager, have constructed a similar format that makes the employees the stars in their very own Sales Challenge League. With ëliveí feeds direct from the shop floor, the staff can drive their own branch up the league in real time, whilst keeping an eye on their nearest competitor, all with the intention of creating healthy competition and driving sales upward.

The Sales Cup is a football themed online league, where sales people and teams play each other in ëmatchesí. Sales equate to goals scored ñ the more goals scored wins the team the match. The simple and visually attractive league format focuses sales teams on the single concept of selling more to beat another team and with the possibility of being ëliveí, competition is always focused .

The Sales Cup has successfully driven sales, with its focus on both team play and competition within the sales team. ìWe were asked by Carphone Warehouse to develop a way to improve their sales.î says Jon Trigg, Commercial Director of SilentManager, ìWe had already run a successful fantasy football game which proved to motivate their staff, but they wanted something that would really drive their sales up. We applied our knowledge of online marketing to sales motivation with winning results.î

Commercial Director Jon Trigg adds ìThe Sales Cup has already worked well for the likes of Carphone Warehouse and the De Vere Group, proving a real winner with their respective sales forces. With the World Cup this summer, a football based motivational tool will draw in the focus of staff, whether they are football lovers or not.î

The football World Cup takes place this summer, so SilentManager are confident that giving companies a motivational tool that builds upon interest in the tournament, will be welcome relief for Sales Directors.
