Offer rewarding perks

Pros

It's nice getting rewarded when sales go well and I have also been able to learn more about different brands along the way.

The downside is that incentive payouts take a while to come through after they're earned.

Helpful tracking but pricey scaling

Pros

One thing that works well is sales tracking. Also it is nice that staff can quickly see their own numbers which adds a competitive element and motivates them to perform better.

Cons

I feel like the pricing could definitely be better. Once you have multiple locations, the cost keeps going up with each added site and that has honestly stopped me from bringing newer locations onto the platform. It can also be buggy at times when pulling data.

Great mix of education and incentives

Pros

The mix of education and incentives makes the platform feel friendly for both users and brands. Also it is really good to see that you actually listen to brand feedback and use it to improve the platform.

Cons

The only thing I really wish it had is an app because I don't love being stuck using my laptop every time.
