Celebrations
Sales win celebrations in Slack and Teams
What gets announced
Six moments, each independently switchable per channel.
Deal closed won
Posts with the rep, the value band and their new board position.
First deal
A new rep's first close, called out by name — the single highest-leverage recognition moment there is.
Streak milestone
Fires at five and ten consecutive logging days, so consistency gets noticed and not just size.
Podium change
When the top three shifts, which is what makes the middle of the board look again.
Personal best
A rep beating their own record — recognition that doesn't require beating anyone else.
Competition results
Final standings posted into the same channel the contest was announced in.

What it does
Recognition that arrives on time
Slack and Teams
Posts into the channel the team already lives in, with different moment types routable to different channels.
Fires on the event
Not a daily digest. The announcement lands while the deal is still the thing everyone is talking about.
First-deal alerts
A new rep's first close is the highest-leverage recognition moment in the whole programme. It never gets missed.
Streak milestones
Consistency gets recognised alongside size, so the reps grinding steadily are visible too.
Tuned, not noisy
Every moment type can be switched off per channel. Only interruptions worth making get made.
Competition results
Final standings post into the channel the contest was announced in, with the board attached.
The moments worth interrupting for
Recognition loses its value the moment it becomes routine. A channel that fires on every logged call trains the team to mute it, and a muted channel is worse than no channel — it teaches people that wins are noise.
The default set is deliberately short, and weighted towards moments that are rare enough to matter. The underlying reasoning — social comparison, and why upward comparison alone demotivates the bottom half of a board — is covered in the psychology deep dive.
Frequently asked questions
What are sales celebrations?+
Automatic announcements that post sales wins into the channel your team already works in. Closed-won deals, first deals, streak milestones, podium changes, personal bests and competition results fire into Slack or Microsoft Teams as they happen, so recognition arrives while the moment still lands.
Why does the timing matter?+
Recognition delivered a week later at a team meeting has almost no behavioural effect. The value is in the latency: the shorter the gap between doing the work and being seen doing it, the more the behaviour repeats. That is the whole mechanism, and it is why celebrations fire on the event rather than on a digest.
Won't constant notifications annoy the team?+
They would if every activity fired one. Celebrations are scoped to moments that are genuinely worth interrupting for — closes, firsts, milestones and podium changes — and each type can be switched off independently per channel.
Does this work for remote teams?+
This is where it matters most. A distributed team has no sales floor, so there is no ambient signal that anything is happening. Celebrations restore the thing an office gets for nothing: everyone hearing the win.
Which channels can it post to?+
Slack and Microsoft Teams, with different moment types routable to different channels — competition results to the whole-company channel, streaks to the team channel, for instance.
