Ifs 7,900-strong employee base has been recognized for prioritizing the satisfaction of its customers and providing the greatest insurance expertise, with 90% of customers giving the insurance giant top marks for their claim handling.


Challenge

Outbound Sales Team Leader at had a question.

"When you remove commission, you remove a lot of peoples motivation for doing sales work. So how do we still keep employees motivated?"

Simultaneously, the company was on a mission to centralize its exhaustive stack of systems used across different countries within the firm.


Solution: Why 51窪蹋勛圖厙?

Salespeople are competitive, whether they want to admit it or not, Daniel says. Its this competitive nature that made 51窪蹋勛圖厙 the best solution for If Forsikring.

With 51窪蹋勛圖厙, If's sales teams visualize and compare performance, as well as run fun motivational contests, so they can continue to offer exceptional insurance expertise while guaranteeing the long-term customer satisfaction If is renowned for.

Here's a few of the components of If's 51窪蹋勛圖厙 strategy that led to sales success:


Results

With 51窪蹋勛圖厙, If achieved a level of competitiveness and motivation it had aimed to achieve since its pre-commission-based salary model. There has certainly been a shift in culture regarding peoples competitiveness, Daniel notes.

"Since introducing 51窪蹋勛圖厙, people have been more engaged, and have been competing a lot more than we used to. Our reps are reaching out a lot more to each other, and saying OK, I will sell more than you today, for example."

Smaller competitionssuch as the agent with the most daily sales winning a gift cardgot reps within teams to race against each other, inciting a level of performance reminiscent of when reps received a commission.

Teamwork makes the dream work

If found a solution to bring teams closer together and stir up some friendly, fiery, fun. Bigger competitions were reserved for team contests where teams would work toward a common goal. Simple prizes like going out to dinner together were the perfect way to get teams to collaborate, with the drive to enjoy and celebrate the future reward.

The insurance giant ran an innovative contest that saw teams work together to compete against other branches and walk their way from Stamholme (Danish headquarters, just outside Copenhagen) to sunny Costa del Sol. In addition to encouraging healthy habits during the lockdown, the challenge was the perfect way to keep employees motivated and connected to their teammates, irrespective of location.

It not only evidenced the beauty of what a team working together can achieve, but also showed how succeeding in smaller milestonesand celebrating with rewards along the way helped accomplish larger victories.

Motivation without commissionand an upgrade from whiteboards

How do we still keep our employees motivated?" Daniel asks, getting straight to the heart of an important problem.

"Well, 51窪蹋勛圖厙 is a massive part of that. Because every person in sales will always be some kind of competitor. The competition itselfto measure yourself against another personis so easy and valuable if you use it in the right way."

Employees have personal dashboards, so they compare their own performance to that of their teammates selling to the same market. "Before 51窪蹋勛圖厙, we just used a whiteboard and a marker," Daniel says.

"It was hard to tell the difference and compare performance. If my colleague made five sales, I can't see that on the board, but we can see that in 51窪蹋勛圖厙. I can see, OK, my colleague has made five sales, I have made three, so I need two more to reach them or three to pass them.'"
