Introduction: Why Should We Love Competition?
Ever dreamed of holding up a SWAT team, wearing a gorilla costume to liven up a business meeting, or giving out rubber duckies as rewards for solving problems? Sounds a little absurd? You’re right. But in the world of employee training and customer success, sometimes a little playful absurdity might just be the key to unprecedented productivity. Welcome aboard on our virtual rollercoaster!
Before we start, let’s clear up one thing: Competition isn’t a dirty word. Friendly competition, seasoned with a dash of fun and a sprinkle of motivation, can transform boring training sessions into exciting game boards that everyone is eager to conquer.
What Does Friendly Competition Look Like?
Think back to your childhood days. Remember the thrill of school races, spelling bees, or math Olympiads? You probably can’t recall which participle rules you learned, but I bet, you remember the adrenaline rushing into your veins, the joy of victory, and – yes – even the taste of defeat. That’s the power of friendly competition!
Now imagine bottling up that set of emotions, that charming combo of thrill, joy, excitement, and purpose, and releasing it into your workplace. Ahoy, you’ve got a crew ready to steer the ship even through the stormiest seas!
Witnessing a Transformation: From Dull to Dynamic
Are your training sessions getting the infamous eye-rolls? Are your customer support interactions looking less like a dynamic tennis game and more like slow-paced lawn bowls? Fear not, the morale-boosting fairy of friendly competition is here to your rescue!
Here’s how it is: teaching your staff a new sales technique or training them on the latest software update can feel like pulling teeth (without Novocaine). But turn that training into a fun challenge, where the quickest learner gets bragging rights (plus a rubber duckie, perhaps): viola! You have reignited engagement.
“Uh-oh” Moment: Ignoring Friendly Competition
To illustrate the risk of not unlocking friendly competition, let’s look at a real-life example of a company that faced seemingly insurmountable challenges. Let’s call them NoFun, Inc.
During the first month of product training for their new launch, the staff reported feeling uninterested and unmotivated. Customers didn’t feel a rapport with the staff, who themselves reported feeling lost and under-equipped. The launch floundered, and the company took a major hit. This could have been avoided with a dash of friendly competition.
Had they used competition to stimulate their employees to learn, they might’ve been synonymous with customer success, instead of the underwhelming launch of their product. A leader board, some virtual trophies, and recognition for the winners could have drastically changed the outcome at NoFun, Inc.
