Hey Since Nobody's Posting Anything


There is something new in the world of motivating your employees. They are called "Motivaids". A name no doubt derived from Motivational Aids. A Motivaid is a giant sized game board to set up your company sales incentive program. I used to make things like this for my sales people when I worked in the Apartment Industry. Games like these are hard to make when you are trying to make one for each of 40 properties. However, they are worth the trouble, because they work so well at motivating your sales or leasing people. However, at around $50 each, you can't afford the time and materials to make something like these.
One of the most interesting and clever parts of the games are what they call the "Prize Stops." The manager can set up prizes for the sales people to win along the route. These are hidden away by their patent pending "stick-on-scratch-off" which makes it easy to create and a whole lot of fun to motivate your employees.
These pre-made sales contests are created by a company called MVP Squared LLC, (Motivational, Visual, Performance Programs) which is located in Plano, Texas.
They have four designs, one is a race to climb a snowy mountain, called "King of the Mountain." Next is a game they call "Race to the Winner's Circle" which is a car race around a winding road. The third is "The Heat is On!" which is a race climbing up a thermostat that is getting hotter with each move. And the last one is a horse race, called "Ride to Victory." They can be found at Motivaids.com.
Here is a demo explaining how they work:
