Bringing reward and recognition to your frontline sales team with Engage

In our latest update to Ocasta Engage, you can now empower your frontline teams to recognise each other with cash rewards.

Your employees are in pursuit of recognition. They spend most of their day supporting your company and want to feel valued and respected. 

88% of employees agree that it’s essential that employers reward employees for great work. So why do only 41% of employees say their employers effectively reward them for their efforts?

Don’t leave employee satisfaction up to chance; pave the way for a fulfilling and long career where they know that the more effort they put in, the more they will get out. 

How does it work? 

You can create budgets for your teams which you allocate to your leaders, like store managers or regional managers. Then when recognising their colleagues with our peer-to-peer recognition feature, kudos, they can attach a monetary reward alongside it.

Once recognised, each employee builds up a pot of cash which they can redeem at more than 2000 of the world’s most-loved brands.

Best of all, it’s all done from Engage, meaning they can access it to recognise and redeem straight from their app in a matter of seconds. From rewarding a colleague “in the moment” as they close a big sale to cashing out their voucher in the supermarket queue.

When to use cash rewards?

Use Kudos Rewards to make sure no recognisable moment goes unmissed. For example:

• Give a small budget to all your sales leaders, who can directly hand it out to the salespeople at the frontline who make the most significant difference.

• Provide each regional leader a budget to recognise the stores or teams consistently hitting targets.

• Hand out from your head office to sales associates who are recognised consistently for embodying company values or receiving excellent customer feedback.

• Support vendor promotions to reward those with the best product knowledge.

Why offer cash rewards?

Engage has long offered digital kudos for virtual recognition, meaning staff can quickly and freely recognise good behaviours, showcasing them to their colleagues in the hall of fame. These see fantastic engagement rates from our customers' sales teams. To take them to the next level, Kudos now goes beyond just recognition with a tangible reward delivered alongside them.

Real cash rewards are an affordable way to retain your sales superstars, alleviating their frustrations of feeling unvalued and unrecognised. Delivering them with Kudos allows you to tie meaning to the cash incentive, making your recognition programme much more powerful. As a result, they become more than just cash rewards; they are fundamental drivers of your talent retention strategy.

Employees can use them to treat themselves or with family and friends, making them feel even more grateful and deeply connected to your organisation.

So, the only frustration your employees will have is deciding where to spend it.  

What makes it different?

Ocasta Engage is the sales enablement app your employees use daily for their comms updates, knowledge of your latest offers, and to stay up-to-date on company training. 

Before Engage, reward and recognition meant logging into separate systems. Staff had to remember to send an email or find the correct form, which meant that teams forgot about recognition.

Now you can reward and recognise your team all from one place. Kudos are digital tokens of appreciation, and rewards can be tied closely to them. Each monetary gift is aligned closely with your company values and initiatives, not just a random cash prize.

A simple way to recognise, the quickest way to redeem, and the best way to reward your sales team.

Celebrate successes to retain your sales champions 

Reward and recognition are vital to motivating and retaining any sales team, so bringing it to the app your staff already use daily will maximise its reach and power.
