Our student used the Hoopla website during the long-distance learning months of the pandemic. We were able to read and reference the online ebooks for several projects we worked on. The website was easy to maneuver and there were plenty of topics available for research. Thank you for this opportunity to express our insights.

Hoopla helped us improve our culture, employee performance, and engagement. Instead of giving away boring prizes without any real competition, we were able to create programs that increased productivity without much work on management's end that employees look forward to. The best part was the feedback from employees stating they enjoyed working more as well.

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented many work challenges for our company. [W]e have peers working at the office, and some others working remotely which makes it harder [for people] to get motivat[ed]. Hoopla has allowed us to get closer, interact with each other's achievements, and even compete to get individual or group rewards.

Working at a college, we have various departments that use Hoopla. Primarily the library but we have some others that utilize it for employees. I believe Hoopla helps minimize the mundane daily tasks we have in the work environment. As far as business problems, I think Hoopla helps solve some of the issues we face with employee dissatisfaction. I enjoy listening to a good book and having this option during the work day has been incredible for me, especially this year during COVID with very little interaction with fellow employees.

Hoopla is being used by the Sales and Marketing teams across an entire floor of our office. Today we use it to show leaderboards for team activity goals, revenue goals and to alert the team of any won opportunities (people love that). These help the team feel the momentum building throughout the day/week/month and fuel a friendly, competitive spirit within the teams.

We use Hoopla for our sales teams and client success team. We display our channels across TVs in the office, and they rotate through a variety of slides featuring number of schedules, number of presentations, number of enrollments, percentage to our monthly quota, etc. The team also uses it to challenge each other in "face-offs" to hit a certain amount of MRR.

Hoopla is used across our entire sales organization to track and monitor sales reps production along with their KPI’s on a weekly, monthly and quarterly level. It broadcasts clear stack rankings for our top producing reps along with flash notifications to recognize sales reps for accomplishing a sale or securing a product demo. Seems clear stack rankings help motivate the reps to produce at a higher rate because they want to see their names at the top of the list.

We use Hoopla to report anything and everything we use salesforce.com to do. That includes lead tracking and scoring, new sales business development, managing existing business and client success, and scoring our case response rate/success rate that we use for product support. That means four different departments in our company can be scored and highlighted in our instance of Hoopla. It is helping us to highlight our leaders and best successes in every one of those categories. It helps to spur a competitive mindset in our individuals. It helps to communicate success to everyone in the company. It helps keep individuals focused on the right steps (leading indicators) of success.

Where to start! Hoopla single handedly drives competitiveness at Influitive. The display of daily metrics combined with a very "in your face" recognition of rep's success really inspires the team at Influitive. The competition feature always results in a spike in activity and is a great way to get us reps to work harder without even realizing it!

Hoopla was a great tool to get our sales team competitive. It was being used across the organization to keep the sales team and product team aligned, and to get the entire company really rallied behind sales. This is a great way to unite the company for one common goal. As a user and administrator, the tool is very easy to use. Its customization allows teams to have some fun with different games and challenges you can set up. I have seen other products that are boring, and sales or call center teams just let them go on in the background without giving them much attention. Hoopla really has found a user-friendly engaging tool.
