Ep. 164: When Work Is Fun the Job Gets Done

Spot On Insurance
Sales & Marketing
Seth Preus

Shownotes

Seth Preus is the Founder of Mivation, a software company that provides productivity solutions through gamification, competition, and achievements. He drew inspiration from his time as a 19-year old vacuum cleaner seller, where he became obsessed with sales productivity and self-motivation. His system uses the “3 M’s” approach – Mastery, Motivation, and Momentum – which he says unlocks the formula for an increase in overall team performance. Before Mivation, Seth founded RacingSnail, a productivity and compensation tool with an insurance focus.

Seth joins us to share how gamification allows team members to unlock their full potential. He shares his journey, his experience in sales, and the motivation that led him to start RacingSnail and Mivation. He describes the triggers that can boost performance and the do’s and don’ts when it comes to motivating a team member. Seth also explains the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic motivations and what companies can do to bring out the best of their employees beyond benefits and salary.

“I don’t believe you’re going to have long-term success if you’re constantly using the stick to get people to perform.”
