Whatever the reward actually is does not matter much, as long as it's seen as a worthwhile prize by the sales reps. It must be something that they will want to work for and actually want to win.A sales contest and incentive program can help boost the motivation to sell more because it adds a little spice to the daily routine of the salesperson.
