Ambition for the Modern Seller

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I work in a tech sales organization. Therefore, metrics and activity are key components of my day-to-day job. Ambition makes it easy to track all this data and make sure I am staying on point with expectations as well as my peers. The tool is also intuitive and makes it fun to compete with others. This software not only keeps reps accountable but increases productivity by making each call count. The number of different metrics that are trackable are appreciated. I know that the entire worldwide organization utilizes this tool heavily and takes it very seriously.

Pros

  • Tracking multiple, relevant metrics
  • Competition between peers
  • Accuracy

Cons

  • Glitches and crashes that happen occasionally
  • Slow refresh/update rate
  • More relevant fields for tracking that apply to each role type

Likelihood to Recommend

Ambition is applicable to pretty much any sales organization. I believe it is well suited for younger generations like myself that enjoy the data as well as the competition. Any large sales team can benefit from this tool to maintain accountability and productivity.

A less applicable use would be for a door-to-door or outside sales organization. This may not be as useful as it is primarily used to track daily dials, talk time, etc.

Ambition's Software Platforms Are As Good As It Gets

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our sales department utilizes the gamification software from <a title="Link: https://ambition.com/" rel="nofollow,noopener" target="_blank" href="https://ambition.com/">Ambition</a>. This software helps motivate our sales team as it helps increase competition.

Pros

  • Gamification Software
  • Sales Performance Management
  • Sales Insights

Cons

  • It can be a little hard to navigate different metrics that you are ranking people by but that's really minor.

Likelihood to Recommend

Ambition is great for goal setting, particularly within your sales department.

Ambition good for single teams who like competition and social re-enforcement

Rating: 6 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

<b>Who: </b>one of our enrollment (sales) teams uses Ambition to track their daily activities, see how their manager's team is performing compared to others, and share fun stories/photos/content across the floor.

<b>How:</b> Ambition connects to our CRM, Salesforce. Reports from Salesforce connect to Ambition to show

This helps us incentivize performance via social reinforcement. High performers get rewarded by seeing their high metric attainment, and low performers can strive to reach that level.

Pros

  • Connect to our CRM, Salesforce.
  • Easily display on a shared TV screen in the office to share key metrics and content.
  • Help our sales team see the results of their hard work, and compare to their peers (if you set it up that way).

Cons

  • Customization: Ambition offers specific features that can be hard to adapt to the exact metrics or content you want to show.
  • Reminders: I'd like to opt into notifications via email of key milestones, reminders to change content, etc.
  • Expensive: it's an expensive product for what you get. We don't offer incentive comp, so it's helpful to have a tool like this to socially celebrate success.

Likelihood to Recommend

<b>Well suited:</b> environments that crave social affirmation, social competition, or other organizations that can't incentivize success via compensation.

<b>Not well-suited: </b>environments that support several similar roles that have different metrics. Example: we have 5 similar roles at my company that would benefit from Ambition, and each of these teams sits close to each other. It's challenging to customize Ambition to display multiple different roles with different metrics, rewards, and content. If you display the content on a screen in your office, it's best suited for only one role/team. Otherwise, you'll likely need to deploy Ambition to different teams separately, via a different account.

Great Culture Boost

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Ambition to track our daily call metrics, and ranks. We also use it to play a theme or anthem, chosen by the account manager, when he or she hits a designated goal. It's an excellent addition to our company's culture and morale. We have a roughly 25' wide projector playing the Ambition ticker at all times. I definitely recommend it for any competitive work environment.

Pros

  • Tracks metrics and goals
  • Keeps the floor buzzing and motivated
  • Improves Morale

Cons

  • It goes down about once or twice a week

Likelihood to Recommend

Every single sales floor should have Ambition. Period. If you track call numbers, set goals, or have minimum metrics you should be using this software.

  • KPI tracking with customized point weighting system
  • Music that plays when one meets their KPI goals such as exceeding 100 points for the day or winning new business or converting a lead into an opportunity

Likelihood to Recommend

Ambition is well suited for a sales team that deals with frequency touch points to their leads and customers.
