Our Kick-ass Channel Incentives Framework

We know that running an effective Kick-Ass Incentive can be hard. Often the sheer complexity of trying to analyse CRM and sales data can be a barrier.

That’s why we start by working with our clients to understand the behaviours or outcomes they want to drive and with whom. Once we know this, we’ll design a programme to make that happen.

This will include:

  • Discovery Phase

    We review your channel goals and objectives to uncover the best way to incentivise your partners to achieve them.

  • Diving into Your Data

    Data is key to the success of any channel incentive. We work with you to ensure the information required can be extracted in a suitable format

  • Creating Impact

    We’ll make sure you stand out from the crowd by creating an eye-catching theme for your incentive.

  • Gamifying Success

    We’ll build a branded incentive platform so your team and your partners can monitor their results and elevate their performance!

  • Helping you Launch

    With our comms pack of emails, social tiles, partner portal copy and email banners, we’ll ensure you have the right tools for a successful incentive launch.

  • Updates & Reports

    Once live, we’ll update your incentive platform based on your data, and we’ll create management friendly reports so you demonstrate the impact the incentive is having.

  • Rewards

    At the end of the incentive, we’ll provide your participants with their rewards, either via e-voucher or physical gifts, via our global rewards network.
