It might sound corny, but having upbeat music playing when people are arriving is a great way to set the right kind of energy for the rally.
Having funny videos playing or even music videos on a big screen are also great ways to set a positive vibe.
#3: Take a Victory Lap
A true rally should celebrate success.
Taking a few moments to go around the room and have everyone take a “victory lap” – to share something that went well either personally or professionally since the last sales rally – is a great way to highlight the team’s personal successes.
Everyone likes to shine. Give them the floor and let them take the spotlight with their latest “win”.
#4: Start With Training

What is your desired outcome for this sales rally?
Is it best achieved by going through reports (an activity that could be achieved in another way) or by spending quality time training, coaching, role playing and interacting with your sales professionals?
If you chose B, then schedule your training at the front of the agenda. Lead with training so it always receives the time it deserves.
