Ambition is the self-proclaimed “fantasy football for sales teams,” designed to use gamification to benchmark sales reps within an organization, boost productivity and close more deals.

Features/Functions

The gamification platform is positioned to collect data from CRMs, phone records and other sales databases. The data can then be used to score each individual sales rep based on their performance. The solution is intended to provide full transparency for employees and managers to monitor their performance in real-time.

Internal business intelligence includes:

Actionable data intelligence;
Automated data reporting; and
Identify who is and is not meeting expectations through real-time push notifications.

Compatibility

Supported CRM integrations include Salesforce and McLeod Software; supported spreadsheet integrations include Dropbox and Google Drive; and supported phone integrations include Cisco and Avaya. The solution also comes with a mobile app so sales teams can track their productivity while on the road.

Competitive Positioning

The Ambition Score System also intends to help users quickly and easily define job types, choose metrics, set benchmarks, and double-check their work with Ambition Curve. Ambition tracks employees throughout the days, weeks, months, and years that make their careers. The solution highlights all of the data that proves sales productivity, so managers can identify which sales reps need further coaching.

Ambition is also designed with weekly competitions where employees can form teams and compete across seasons just like their intramural teams and Fantasy Football squads. This style of competition is more sustainable and meaningful than one-off competitions and motivation increases alongside your bottom line.
