Sales Rep
I know most reps prefer cash, but I remember hearing its better from a company stand point to do an "experience". This has the winner remember the company paying for it and having a more positive outlook on the company.

If its cash, it usually goes straight to bills, and the reps forget about the prize

I'll go against the grain on this one. While I enjoy cash like anyone else, I appreciate experiences that I wouldn't think to get for myself.

Also no company swag, I'll take it but only wear it for appearances.

I opted for Gift card as cash is taxable and anyways I shop from that store every month so it makes more sense.

If the cash spif is big enough, sure. Often I have seen the cool thing/gadget worth more than the cash offering. So either way.. I just win.

Money. The solution to getting more effort on any given goal, particularly for sales people is money.

Everything else is a cop-out. If you're successful in sales, you can go buy whatever stuff you want.

I'll never turn down cash, but it just goes into the paycheck and gets spent on bills, groceries, gas, etc. I'd much rather get something that I wouldn't get for myself, like a cool "thing" or "experience".

No SPIFF will ever motivate me because I've won 3 times and never received the £££. F'ers!

Cash or GC's, all day.

GC's paid for my tv, my golf clubs, and more

Extra money or a decent sized giftcard. Mainly cash in my pocket (but again if I can chose a GC of my choice I am game for that to avoid taxes)

I hate spiffs. Just make the job and comp alone enough of a compelling incentive.

If Sales is a meritocracy and we all have the same expectation to produce, why is the so much talk about pay equity/inequality in sales? Shouldn't the meritocracy part be an equalizer?

Is starting your own business the only option for a laid-off salesperson after you reach the milestone age of 50 ? How does one get hired at 50+ without compromising pay, dignity, location and happiness ?
