Session: Is Gamification for Sales Really Working?
Description: We all know that salespeople are innately competitive, so the rapid pace at which sales leaders are adopting gamification solutions to increase their teams’ productivity isn’t surprising.

It’s about motivating salespeople and cultivating an engaging work environment.
