Gamfi for sales · Module
Sales contests that quickly lift sales where they are falling short
You point to where results are short: a product, a region or the end of the quarter. Gamfi launches the contest on your sales data, shows everyone their place and hands out the reward with the tax settlement prepared.

What changes when you run a contest in Gamfi
Most of the work in a sales contest comes after the rules are announced: results need counting as you go, the middle of the pack needs to stay engaged, and rewards need settling, and at the end you want to know whether the contest changed anything. Gamfi takes over most of this work.
Usually
Someone builds the ranking in a spreadsheet once a week from a sales system export. A sales rep learns their place when it is too late to improve the result.
In Gamfi
Your contest position, visible during the edition
The ranking recalculates after every data update from your system – the same data you use for targets and bonuses. Participants see their place and the distance to the next one on their phone, and the manager sees the whole team and region.
Usually
Once results are announced, a second job begins: collecting addresses, ordering rewards, calculating tax and sending data to HR.
In Gamfi
Reward and tax settled in the same place
Points go to the winner's wallet, and they pick a reward from the catalogue. Gamfi calculates the tax on the reward and prepares the return data. Your company remains the payer.
Usually
After the contest nobody knows whether it lifted sales or just rewarded the people who would have sold the most anyway.
In Gamfi
You see what the contest changed in sales
Gamfi compares participants' results before launch and after the edition closes, and for a contest covering part of the network, with the other branches too. Alongside, you see what the rewards cost.
Product knowledge in the same contest
A reward will not help a sales rep who does not know a new product. In Gamfi, quizzes and knowledge duels are part of the contest, so learning and selling count towards one result.
- A knowledge duel before sales start. The team checks how well it knows a new offer before it starts selling it.
- Points for knowledge and for sales in one ranking. You set the weights, for example more for results and less for the quiz.
- The manager sees quiz results next to sales results. They know straight away who lacks product knowledge and who needs support before the edition ends.
What contests you can launch in Gamfi
You combine mechanics in a single edition, so the contest rewards more than the highest revenue.
Individual contests
Every participant competes on their own result and sees their place, points and the distance to the person ahead. On the edition's end date, Gamfi automatically converts the result into a reward or bonus that goes straight into the rep's pay.
- a ranking for the whole network or a selected area
- separate standings for different groups
- rewards for places and for thresholds
- results converted automatically into a bonus in the payslip
Team contests
Teams, branches and regions compete against each other. A team result counts as a sum or an average per person, so a small team has the same chance as a large one.
- teams, branches, stores and regions
- a team result as a sum or an average per person
- leagues between regions
- managers see how their own team is doing
1:1 duels
Two people compete within a set time, and Gamfi pairs them up and decides the result after the deadline. Duels most often focus on:
- sales results: a metric from sales data, for example the number of packages sold
- product knowledge: a quiz from a question bank about your products
- ideas: a photo of a display or a recorded customer conversation, rated by the team
- any other task you set
A sales contest lasting a few weeks is one form of motivation. A programme for a whole season, with stages and levels, is described on the page about long-term incentive programmes.
How Gamfi brings the middle of the pack into the contest
Three mechanisms make the whole team work for the result, including people who will not reach the podium.
Groups based on results from the previous period
Participants compete in groups arranged by their results in the previous quarter. A rep from the middle of the pack competes with people of similar results, and the network's top seller with other top sellers.
Rewards for thresholds and for personal improvement
Alongside the ranking position you reward crossing a threshold or improving on the previous period. With the same budget, more people get a reward.
The manager sees who has stalled
The dashboard shows people whose results have not moved since the edition started. The manager can act while the contest is still running.
How sales contests work in Gamfi
You set the rules, and Gamfi runs the contest from launch to the handover of rewards.
- 1
You choose the mechanics and rewards
You set the period, the metrics, the point weights and the rewards for places or thresholds. We will configure the first edition together, and your team will set up the next ones on its own in the panel.

Sales results feed the contest
Data reaches Gamfi from your systems over an API or by file. Rankings and duels are calculated from the same numbers as targets and bonuses.
- 3
The team sees its position during the contest
Every participant checks their place, points and distance to the next threshold on their phone, even without a company email. The manager sees the same across the team and the region.

Gamfi closes the edition and settles rewards
On the contest's end date, Gamfi converts the result into a bonus or a reward. A bonus goes straight into the rep's pay, and the participant picks a reward from the catalogue. Gamfi automatically calculates the tax, prepares the data for the tax return and sends it to HR.
We will move your contests into Gamfi
Daria Tymińska and Paulina Olchowska, Customer Success team leads at Gamfi
If you already run contests – even in a spreadsheet – you do not start from scratch. We will configure the first edition together: a Customer Success manager will move your rules, thresholds and rewards into the platform with you. To start, a results file is enough, without involving your IT team.
Once the edition starts, the platform will handle points, the ranking and the handover of rewards. The first contest will launch a few weeks after you send the results file.
Describe your need
Describe the situation in your own words – we will write back with how the Gamfi platform answers that challenge. You decide about a meeting in the next step.

Common questions
Open the one that applies to you.
Will the contest result match what we have in our sales system?
Yes, because the contest is calculated from the data you send from that system. The same number feeds the target, the contest position and the calculated bonus, so a sales rep sees the same number in the contest as in their target.
Where will Gamfi get our sales results from?
From your systems, over a documented API. To start with, a file import with the same columns you use to build the ranking today is enough – the ranking is then as current as the last file sent. We will agree the scope and frequency of the data exchange at the start of the implementation.
How quickly will we launch the first contest?
The first contest will launch a few weeks after the implementation starts. From you we will need a file with sales results and a list of participants. Your team will set up the next editions on its own in the panel – you will change rules, metrics and point weights without a request to us.
Who settles ties and disputes?
We agree the tie-break rules when configuring the contest, and for every calculation you can see which transaction and which rule the points came from. A correction does not erase history – a record of who changed the result and when remains. A conversation about the result stops being an argument about whose spreadsheet is right.
What about people without a company computer or email?
They sign in with a phone number and an SMS code, without an account in the company domain. They check their position, points and rewards in the browser on their own phone. This is a standard case for store networks and field teams.
Do we have to buy and ship the rewards ourselves?
The participant picks a reward from the catalogue, and physical rewards are delivered by catalogue partners – we can also take on the handover of rewards ourselves. Alongside the catalogue you can add your company's own rewards, such as a day off or equipment. Gamfi will calculate the tax on the reward and prepare the data for the return; we describe the legal side on the page about reward tax.
How much will implementing the Gamfi platform cost us?
Several factors affect the price of the platform: the number of participants, the scope of modules and the scale of your contests. We give a specific figure after a conversation about your situation – book a demo, and we will work it out together. We do not charge extra for each additional dashboard or data source.
