Make sales a team sport

You know this scene. You've got a team, members, volunteers, committee chairs, and every one of them promised to help sell tickets. And a few weeks in, you have absolutely no idea who's actually doing it and who's just... nodding along.

For Greek life, alumni chapters, nonprofits, ticket sales are a team sport. But without visibility, it's impossible to know who's carrying the weight and who's coasting. Strategy Four gives you that visibility, and turns it into motivation.

Step one: track individual sales. Use a platform that lets you hand every team member their own unique link or code. Now every ticket they sell traces straight back to them. No more guessing. No more "I think I sold a few. You've got real numbers.

Step two: make those numbers visible. Publish a simple weekly leaderboard. Celebrate whoever's on top, in the group chat, on social, at the chapter meeting. People are competitive by nature, and watching their name climb, or slip, lights a fire nothing else does.

Step three: pair it with incentives. A prize for the top seller. A gift card, an exclusive perk, a free ticket to the next event. It doesn't have to be extravagant. It just has to mean something.

And step four, the human one: handle the underperformers with empathy, but directly. If someone committed to ten tickets and sold two, reach out privately. Often they're not lazy, they're stuck, or unsure how, and they just need a little help or a gentle nudge.

Strategy Four, in a sentence: what gets measured gets sold. Give your team visibility, a little competition, and a reason to care, and the whole group leans in.
