The Challenge
Motivating a sales team
without adding HR overhead
Carta wanted to provide an additional non-monetary benefit to motivate and appreciate their sales team, rewarding top performers each quarter with a gift of their choice. The challenge: the Office Manager was already stretched. A manual gifting process would add work they did not have capacity for. The solution needed to be automated, meaningful, and delightful for recipients.
Goal: an additional non-monetary benefit to motivate and appreciate top-performing sales reps
Gifting occasion: quarterly reward for top performers who hit sales targets
Desired outcome: a delightful experience for recipients, without extra work from an already stretched Office Manager
The Approach
Curated options. Automated
delivery. Zero manual work.
Smilie's Customer Success team worked with Carta to curate 30+ gift items based on budget and popularity among their sales team's demographics. A campaign was created on the Gifting Management System. Each time a top performer for the quarter was identified, a gifting link was generated. The top performer chose their gift, and Smilie arranged delivery.
The Platform
Gifting Management System Campaign
A campaign was set up on Smilie's platform, generating a unique gifting link each time a top performer was identified, ready to send immediately.
The Choice
Recipient Selects Their Own Gift
Each top performer chose the gift they wanted from the curated selection, ensuring every reward was genuinely wanted, not guessed at.
The Automation
Delivery Without Admin
Once the recipient selected their gift, Smilie handled delivery with no follow-up, no coordination, and no extra work for the Office Manager.
The Result
A reward programme that
runs itself
The automated reward programme gave Carta's sales team a meaningful, choice-led incentive each quarter, while requiring zero ongoing effort from the Office Manager. Every top performer received a gift they actually wanted, and the process ran entirely through the Smilie platform.
