Just got promoted to team lead and my manager is asking me to motivate the team to hit their KPI's. Any tips on this since no one likes the KPI chat, including me.

Motivation depends on the people- you likely know them well enough to know what drives them. For me, if I like you- I'll absolutely work my ass off to help you get a win. If I don't like you and you ask me to do it to help you out, I'll purposely sabotage that shit because fuck you.
I find 'blanket' motivational things (IE contests, spiffs, etc.) are the least effective unless you've got some SERIOUS budget to throw at it.

Second this. The most important thing is to get to understand what makes individuals tick. For some it's public praise, for others it is that extra 50 bucks... It really depends on the people you're working with and it's up to you to understand that and make them run though a burning building with you.
Lead by curiosity. It definitely makes sense. I appreciate the input!
This is spot on. The $50 weekly spiffs are eye-rolling at times.
Right?! And if $50 is motivational to your team, pay better to get better input and your output will reflect it.
This is a hot button issue for me... hahaha

Couldn't agree more with this. I have a manager now who I actively work against because of their toxicity to the team.
Do you know how to run a funnel math session? Write the monthly/quarterly goal at the top of the whiteboard and run the math of how to get there, down to the daily activities?
When I did that for my last team the "why" seemed to click. The daily tasks roll into weekly activity, which drives monthly results.

I love this idea. Thank you!
What are your KPI's?
We’re in the MM/ Corp space so it’s 30 calls, 25 emails
There is a similar thread here. In case it helps. https://bravado.co/war-room/posts/how-do-you-motivate-your-team-when-they-are-down
Awesome, thank you!
Offer up a Cadillac Eldorado.
sounds like the manager is asking you to do their job.. lol. hopefully you're getting paid more versus only a title change for team lead if you need to motivate your team to hit KPIs.
Yeah no kidding.
