💬 The best experiences don't end when the moment does.

They become the story someone shares with a coworker. The reward they still talk about months later. The experience they'd happily do all over again.

That's the power of something people genuinely remember, like taking grandma to her favorite country singer's concert.

Because when an experience means something, the conversation keeps going. And that's something worth talking about. 😊

No, that is not an AI image. It's truly that beautiful in Banff.



We all like to be rewarded for a job well done, but sometimes the motivation to get to the high-five lags.



Group travel incentive programs capture motivation in every memory they create. Once you've earned one, the desire to reach that goal again keeps those motivational embers nice and bright.

Our internal events committee loves to throw out a good physical contest! Recently we participated in a "Fall Walking Challenge" where everyone who participated received reward points we can use for nearly anything. Bonus points went to those who shared a photo of one of their adventures.

In a short 15 day stretch we had people walking (or running) along the beach, in the woods, around a pond, in the mountains, throughout the United States and one in Canada. Congrats to our 5K and half marathon runners!

Maybe these photos will inspire you to take a 20 minute break this fine Friday to stretch your legs!

When you get incredible results, you can't help but want to showcase them!

Our latest case study highlights a channel incentive program focused on commercial flooring buying groups. Our client saw phenomenal product movement and overall growth in the very first year of this program.

We're excited for them and look forward to pushing their results even higher in year two!

If you're running a year-long incentive program, you likely are challenged with ways to keep focus on the program three-quarters of the way through.

A short term incentive, or spurt program, can revitalize participants on the opposite sides of the performance spectrum.

Read about it in a recent blog on our Motivation Excellence website. Thanks to our VP of Client Solutions, Brian McHugh, for providing pertinent information in this Q&A format.

September has a way of getting everyone back into the swing of things. October is the time to use that momentum to finish the year strong. 💪🏼

Calendars fill up. Teams reconnect. To-do lists make their comeback. And somehow, coffee becomes even more important. ☕

But getting back into a routine doesn’t have to mean going back to the same old routine.

A new season can be a good excuse to reset, refocus and bring fresh energy to what’s ahead.

Here’s to getting back into the rhythm and maybe doing a few things differently this time. 🙌

If you're an experienced sales person in the incentive, meetings & events space, but are looking to change personal priorities without compromising the care your clients receive, we may be a great fit!

A current Independent Sales Representative with Motivation Excellence started working with us after leaving his employer and starting his own incentive business specializing in both travel and points programs.

"I knew that I would need a solid company to replace my previous employer's capabilities. I had known about Motivation Excellence for years and always heard great things about them. When I visited them for the first time and met with the owner and executives, I could tell they are a special organization. The culture of respect, employee appreciation, and excellence was evident in everything they did. I could tell almost immediately that this is the type of partner I would want to work with long term."

If you think Q4 is the time to slow down and wait out the end of the year for a fresh start in 2027, you're wasting quality time that can help you push ahead of goals for this year and give you a head start in the new year.

A short term incentive program is an efficient way to do both.

These programs work because they narrow the focus down to a single goal, whether that means:

*Picking a SKU or two with high margins to promote

*Targeting specific regions or territories

*Holding a competition for new and upsell business wins

*Setting a team goal for max collaboration
