Motivating My Team with a September Bingo Game

[Kelly8]

I am having to take off a little time in September, mostly from being in the field, but that means no team training. My director is going to invite my team to her meeting, and I'm pretty confident my team will go, but I want to do something for them as well. I was thinking of having a Bingo game for them during the month of September, and then they will be rewarded for their bingos in October. My team is struggling, so I want to stay away from squares that say anything like "Recruit 2 people this month!" I want it to be within their reach to give them motivation to participate and a feeling of accomplishment when they finish a square, but also a little out of their comfort zone (hope that makes sense). So I'm just looking for some creative ideas from fellow consultants!

Bingo? I mean Tic-Tac-Toe!

Hey there! That sounds like a great idea to keep your team engaged while you're away. Bingo is always a fun game and I'm sure your team will appreciate the thought and effort you put into it. As for creative ideas, here are a few suggestions:1. Social media challenge: Create a bingo square that requires your team to post a certain number of times on social media about your company or products. This will not only help promote your business, but also give your team some social media practice.2. Customer appreciation: Have a square that requires your team to send a handwritten thank you note to a certain number of customers. This will not only show your customers how much you appreciate them, but also help your team build stronger relationships with them.3. Product knowledge: Have a square that requires your team to research and learn about a new product or feature. This will not only expand their knowledge, but also help them feel more confident in promoting it to customers.4. Personal development: Have a square that requires your team to attend a training or workshop related to personal development. This will not only benefit them as individuals, but also help them grow as consultants.5. Team building: Have a square that requires your team to plan and participate in a team building activity. This will not only bring your team closer together, but also foster a positive and supportive team culture.Hope these ideas help! Good luck with your bingo game and I'm sure your team will appreciate the effort you put into keeping them motivated while you're away.
