If you run a team of five to twenty reps, most sales gamification tools are not built for you. They start at ten or fifteen seats, charge per user, and hide pricing behind a demo. Here is what actually matters at your size.
Flat pricing, not per seat
Per-user pricing punishes you for growing. A flat rate per office (or a simple cap) keeps your bill predictable whether you have eight reps or eighteen.
No CRM required
Most small teams run on a spreadsheet, not a polished CRM. The right tool ingests any sales export and builds the board, no integration project.
Live on phones and the TV
Reps check their phones; the floor watches the TV. Both should be included, not gated behind a higher tier.
