# Run sales gamification on knocks you logged

Sales gamification is a scored game on outcomes a rep already logged, so the rank comes from the knock and not from the loudest voice in the lot. Knockdesk field sales software keeps that score, the formats on Compete, and a public Kudos. The rank does not invent a result.

## A winner in a chat is a story

The sales gamification meaning is a format, a metric, and a window, scored on work already logged. If you came here asking what is sales gamification, that is the answer. A winner who lives only in a chat is a story the next shift cannot open.

**Format.** Nine formats sit on Compete. Territory War is admin-only. Head to head stays invite only.

**Metric.** Knocks, conversations, appointments, or confirmed sales. Achievement race is scored on badges.

**Window.** Save a draft, then activate and make it live. Reps do not see a draft.

**Kudos.** Kudos lets a teammate make a good door public. Kudos is not the rank, and you cannot send it to yourself.

## Ideas only help if you can start them

The sales gamification ideas worth running are the ones with a format you can start: Sprint, Marathon, Head to head, Team battle, Custom Team Challenge, Territory War, Survivor, Achievement race, and Bracket. These sales gamification examples are that list, not a poster. Territory War is admin-only.

| Format | How a winner is decided | Who can start it |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Sprint | Highest total when the clock ends | Admin or sales manager |
| Marathon | Biggest running total on a longer window | Admin or sales manager |
| Head to head | Higher of two sides. Enrollment stays invite only | Admin or sales manager |
| Team battle | Highest combined score. Automatic entry for the org teams you include | Admin or sales manager |
| Custom Team Challenge | Highest score for a drafted roster | Admin or sales manager |
| Territory War | Most work inside the territories. Admin-only | Admin only |
| Survivor | Lowest qualified scores leave each round | Admin or sales manager |
| Achievement race | Scored on badges | Admin or sales manager |
| Bracket | Seeded single-elimination. Field of 4, 8, 16, or 32 | Admin or sales manager |

## A draft the crew cannot see is not a contest yet

You feel it when the rules changed after someone took the lead, and nobody can say which knocks counted. Make the game live on the metric you already log. Leave Kudos as the public shout beside the rank, not as a substitute for it.

1. Open Compete, then Games. Pick one of the nine formats. Territory War stays with admins.
2. Set enrollment. Open, invite only, or automatic. Head to head stays invite only.
3. Pick the metric, add prizes, and save a draft. Reps do not see a draft.
4. Activate and make it live. Eligibility can require finished onboarding.
5. Let a teammate send Kudos on a good door. That shout is public. It is not the leaderboard.

## The row has to open back to a logged outcome

A chat can name a winner. The leaderboard row ranks a name, a team, and a score from outcomes already logged. Book a walkthrough and bring the metric you already keep.
