John's Music offers a support for their customers. His team of 6 support workers spend a lot of time working with end users, researching and resolving issues related to purchased instruments. The issues can be a combination of questions relating to warranty, product faults or how to information.

John recognizes he needs to motivate and challenge his staff as well as setting objectives and KPI’S.

John has decided that he wants to drive a culture of success in his team by focusing on the following key areas:

  1. Case closed in less than 4 hours
  2. 10 or more cases assigned in a day

John has knowledge of Salesforce so he decides to create the RDS Challenge and related configuration requirements himself, which involves:

  1. Creating the Team Categories
  2. Creating the Teams
  3. Setting up his Attributes
  4. Creating his Challenge

John soon sees notices behaviours developing in the team of Challengers:

  • The support staff start tracking their overall ranking on the Hall of Fame.
  • Johns teams are competitive in nature, and they know that the results are linked to their objectives so they have to work hard to increase their ranking.
  • Increased visibility is driving a culture of performance and recognition as team members know exactly where they are in relation to their peers.


John is going to start by creating his challenge and crating attribute points in the challenge.
