Company Wide Bigger Pockets Challenge

[Account Closed]

Something interesting we have just started at Customer First Homes is the Bigger Pockets Showdown. It is a company wide competition for everyone to participate in. Almost like a Fantasy Football type game!

We started this competition to increase the activity of social networking, sharing of education, and increase the awareness of the company as to how powerful social media can be.

It is a 90 day challenge and it is based off of the BP Profile awards.

Here is the company e-mail that was sent outlining the competition:

I believe this will be great for the company with many added benefits that we may not even realize! A fun competition never hurts any Office.

Has anyone else ever incorporated something similar with their business?

Hopefully they will be relevant posts and beneficial to the BP community. I hate to see people posting just to get points. I think it may have meant more if you were basing the competition on the number of votes each person accrued. At least that way you would know the posts were having an impact on others.
