About Us

OUR STORY

Our flagship  product, Compete, was an idea generated by the ePrize team who implemented salesforce.com® within its own sales organization. When going through the process of rolling out Salesforce®, it became clear how difficult it would be to drive adoption among the sales team. We were asking people to change the way they worked day-to-day. We needed to change habits.

The vision behind purchasing a CRM system like Salesforce® is that you will be able to measure all kinds of sales activities… and if you can measure it, you can motivate it. We saw an immediate opportunity to develop an easy-to-use tool for sales managers to tap into their teams competitive nature and motivate key sales behaviors, while at the same time improving adoption of Salesforce®.

The ePrize team launched Compete — then called Sales Contest Builder — at Dreamforce® in September 2011 and quickly started signing up customers who were experiencing great results. Based on the early success and momentum, the team spun out of ePrize in October 2012 which is when LevelEleven began.

WHAT IS LEVELELEVEN?

LevelEleven develops easy-to-use software tools that help sales and other managers keep their teams focused on the right things. Our flagship product, Compete, is a salesforce.com® app that gives companies new ways to motivate salespeople to make more calls, book more meetings, and close more business, which in turn spikes adoption of Salesforce®.

Compete is the #1 most popular gamification app in the Salesforce AppExchange®, and clients include Comcast, InsideView, the Detroit Pistons and Dominion Enterprises, among many others. LevelEleven is based in Detroit, Michigan, and part of the Detroit Venture Partners portfolio of companies.
