Gamification for Social Selling
Gamification for Influencer Marketing
The success tracking network
What is Social Selling?
With social media, now anyone within an
organisation can influence the customer’s
buying journey.
Social Selling is the development of a
personal online brand and engaged
audience around an individual
employee’s social media presence.
An effective, business focused, social
media presence run by individual
employees, benefits the business by
providing a new marketing channel to
drive brand awareness and sales.
Research shows social selling works
LinkedIn research 2016
– Content shared by employees
has a 2x higher engagement
than when shared by the
company

content are 45% more likely to
exceed quota
What is Success Tracking?

Fusing personal & business analytics
Rather than traditional remuneration and rewards, a success tracking program motivates “players” by appealing to their own intrinsic goals – in this case to build an effective personal brand.
At the same time, the program balances the needs of the business by embedding business relevant metrics & weighting in the score algorithm.
When players opt in to the program and seek to get a better score, the activities they do help both themselves and their business.
