📺 Sales Team Icebreaker: (Company Name)TV Cribs
Forget “one word to describe your weekend.” Your team meeting icebreaker is covered for the next several weeks because:
you’re now running TechTV Cribs™.
Each team meeting kicks off with a rep giving a 5-minute tour of their crib.
Encourage:
Gold chains
Iced-out mini bars
Neon lights synced to their Gong call open rate
They show off their vibe. Then we get down to pipeline.
🏆 Q2 Accolades: Celebrate Like You Mean It
Quarter's wrapping. Let's make winners famous. Here's the system:
Recognition isn’t a “nice-to-have.”
It’s how you build a winning culture that people want to be part of.
Accolades spotlight results and the people behind them — the grinders, the glue, and the greatness.

🏛️ The Wall of Honor
Because some wins deserve to be immortalized.
What It Is:
A physical installation at HQ — updated every quarter — featuring the names of:
Accolade Winners
100%+ Quota Hitters
Culture Carriers
Think tennis club wall-of-fame meets modern design. Clean, proud, on-brand.
How It Works:
Sales Enablement owns the list of names
Someone in HQ updates the wall
Could be gold plaques, laser-etched metal, or even digital signage
This is the legacy layer. When someone visits HQ, they should feel what kind of team this is. VPs and Chiefs should see these names every day.
🛠️ Implementation Plan
Sales Management/Enablement/Ops pulls winners
Award slides are built into the Quarterly Kickoff Deck
Wall of Honor is updated quarterly and maintained by a designated owner
Closing Thoughts:
This isn’t about participation trophies.
It’s about anchoring your culture around performance, effort, and team impact.
People rise when they know their work matters.
This is how you show them it does.
Cheers to a huge Q2 finish,
Cody
