Badgeville Takes on "The New Era of Sales" at Oracle CloudWorld

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Jan. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Badgeville, The #1 Gamification Platform, today announced it will be featured at Oracle CloudWorld on Wednesday, January 29, in San Francisco. Badgeville's featured session - "Gamification: The New Era of Sales" - will focus on how Oracle customers can optimize employee performance with gamification.

The CloudWorld event is set to highlight the many benefits of cloud-based technology and how business executives can get the most value from the cloud. This talk follows Badgeville's executive keynote session at Oracle Open World 2013, where Badgeville CEO Ken Comee chaired a standing-room only panel with Oracle, American Express and Accenture executives on driving business transformation with gamification in the cloud.

"Oracle has demonstrated clear vision in bringing new technologies to its customers to provide the most engaging, modern and productive enterprise software," said Abe Smith, vice president, business development, Badgeville. "We are excited to partner with Oracle and showcase the business value of gamification for sales personnel and beyond at Oracle Cloud World."

Incentives and rewards for performance has always been an inherent part of sales culture, from President's Club to status-based rewards beyond cash bonus. Yet these have been focused mainly on closing deals and have stood outside of the daily application experience of the user. Gamification, on the other hand, applies game mechanics to business processes, making this motivation an intrinsic part of the daily sales process by reinforcing the right sales behaviors - every day and every minute - leading to more deals, larger deal sizes, and reduced sales cycles.

The Sales Cloud Track talk by Badgeville will cover:

• gamification techniques that drive employee productivity and greater sales performance
• how gamification can be applied in CRM and incentive compensation systems
• customer examples on enterprise gamification programs that drive key employee behavior
