Sales Awards are a popular type of award and typically are given to recognize a team or individual that helped drive revenue and company growth.
Monthly, Quarterly, and Annual Performance in Sales recognition is something every salesperson looks forward to achieving.
Sales Awards can be given for many reasons, including growth in sales over the previous year or period, attaining a set sales goal, success with selling a new product, growth with attaining new customers, revenue in a target market, or major account growth overall, to name a few.
Q&A about Sales Awards
- What are the key performance indicators (KPIs) that the best sales awards programs recognize?
The most effective programs recognize a spectrum of sales success, not just the top dollar figure. Key KPIs include Highest Revenue/Volume, but also crucial behaviors like Exceeding Quota/Goal Attainment (the most motivating for the middle 80%), New Client Acquisition, Most Improved Performance (vital for motivation), and Sales Excellence in Teamwork/Collaboration.
- How should we structure tiers for annual sales awards (e.g., Bronze, Silver, Gold, President’s Club)?
Tiers should correspond to achievement levels and escalate in material quality to reflect the honor. Bronze/Silver (Achieving 100-110% of Goal) should use high-quality glass or acrylic. Gold/Platinum (120%+ of Goal) requires substantial crystal or a signature award. President's Club (Highest Tier/Elite Travel) demands the most prestigious award, such as a large optical crystal tower or a custom art glass sculpture presented by the CEO.
- What engraving wording is most inspiring for a sales award?
Inspiring sales award wording is direct, results-oriented, and celebratory. Use an action word followed by the specific achievement and the value delivered. Examples: "For Championing Excellence: 150% of 2024 Revenue Goal," "Excellence in Client Acquisition: Recognizing 100 New Partnerships," or the classic "Top Gun/Quota Buster" with a specific metric. Always include the name, date, and goal achieved.
- What are the best design materials for a Sales Award (e.g., crystals, trophies, plaques)?
Optical Crystal is the industry standard for annual and President's Club sales awards due to its prestige, clarity, and reflective qualities, symbolizing brilliance and success. For unique designs, Art Glass Sculptures offer vibrant colors and dynamic shapes (like flames or sails) that capture momentum. Traditional Plaques are best used for team recognition or monthly awards, while the Crystal Obelisk/Tower is favored for individual excellence.
- How do we make sales awards feel personalized rather than generic?
Personalization moves beyond just the name. 1. Design: Use 3D laser engraving to etch the company's product, logo, or a symbolic image (like a globe for international sales) inside the crystal. 2. Wording: Reference a specific client win or project nickname in the engraving. 3. Presentation: Present the award in a unique presentation box alongside a personalized note from their direct manager or the CEO.
