sales contest

Quota-chasing showdown event

A sales contest is a competition among salespeople, typically offering prizes or recognition for hitting targets or outperforming colleagues within a set period.

Companies use them to boost motivation and drive revenue: The quarterly sales contest had everyone pushing to close deals before the deadline.

The prizes range from cash bonuses to trips to token awards like a better parking spot.
