First Close

Hey guys I just has a new person on my team have their first sale go all the way through. As a team leader I was wondering what we should do to celebrate. What do you guys do when someone has a deal close? I was thinking possibly drinks after work but was wondering what other traditions are.

As they say "act like you've been there before"

I got a high five, my name moved up on the leaderboard, and I had a beer in the office with the team before leaving for the day.

Congrats! A drink like 30-60 minutes before EOD would be good and avoid any issues in potential exposure to others at a bar/restaurant.

What I don't recommend is what one company I worked for did many years ago.. Have a stuffed monkey on every new hire's chair and remove it after their first close because they 'got the monkey off their back'.

Dumb AF in my opinion.

Agreed. Such a toxic, churn and burn environment. Though admittedly pretty funny, quite messed up.

They closed up shop not too long after I Ieft.

High five and onto the next.

Honestly though, give due recognition and buy them drinks. Easy way to gain some buy in

Conrats! I review with them how they won the deal and what worked and what didnt. So they can rinse and repeat faster next time

Congrats buddy, I honestly don't like to spend time after working hours (due to other personal priorities) but if your team members agree, why not raise a glass for cheers!

Drive them towards consistency!

Would be nice to celebrate just before EOB today with some drinks and snacks if you can swing it. I'm not sure I'd be taking a team out anywhere just yet. I'd be keeping it internal and allowing everyone to leave at the regular time without feeling as though they have to commit to after hours. Those who want to continue the party, of course, can head out after, but keeping it at the office gives those who have somewhere to be a chance to raise a glass to their colleague.

We do „happy calls“ not just for new employees but also for seniors who want to celebrate hard or annoying af deals. Works well for us.
