Follow the Progress Principle

Nothing motivates like the feeling of making progress, even if that progress is entirely illusory. For evidence of that, consider a study published several years ago in the Journal of Marketing Research showing people will complete a “buy 12, get one free” card faster than a “buy 10, get one free card” if two of the stamps on the 12-item card are already filled in. Perhaps you could leverage this principle in setting targets for sales staff Offering a portion of their annual sales goal for “free” might create a feeling of momentum the spurs them to shift into a higher gear.
