Social Selling: How Gamification Supports Sales Productivity and Performance

Ivan Kuo02 mins

Needle CEO and founder, Morgan Lynch, has created a remote online customer sales chat platform that implements gamification to encourage remote workers to excel, using social influence to sell. He is an expert in using game mechanics in a non-game context to incentivize remote workers to achieve success by clearly defining benchmark performance goals – creating healthy competition as they compete for points toward free products and more. Needle’s system is proven to help brands boost their online sales and strengthen the online customer experience.

During this session, Morgan explains how using gamification with his untraditional online sales support platform has improved productivity and performance, while driving millenial workers in unique and unprecedented ways.

GSummit Global to Arrive This Fall At:

NYC, Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto, London, Tel Aviv, Dubai, Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, and Sydney 

As the gamification movement continues to grow, we’ve been looking for better ways to connect the global community.  Our big conference – GSummit – attracts a good number of global attendees to SF in June, but not everyone can afford to come to San Francisco.

I’ll be traveling around the world this winter – and I’d like you to join me
