Matt Bullock shows how Spinify duels work: pick a teammate just ahead on the leaderboard, challenge them to a head-to-head competition, and turn climbing the rankings into a personal rivalry that actually motivates people to perform.
Wanna make a competition a little more interesting? Try this: challenge someone to a Spinify duel. Here's how it works. Let's say you've already got a competition running. Maybe it's calls, maybe it's meetings booked, maybe it's revenue. Now imagine you're sitting just behind a teammate on the leaderboard. Instead of quietly trying to catch them, challenge them. A duel is a mini head-to-head competition that runs inside your existing competition. You pick another player, throw down the challenge, and suddenly you've got your own personal battle going on. And let's be honest, there's something way more motivating about beating one specific colleague than trying to climb past 20 people on a leaderboard, especially if it's that teammate who keeps reminding everyone they won last month's competition. Duels create friendly rivalry, instant engagement, and a whole lot of fun. Because sometimes the fastest way to boost performance is to make it personal. So next time you're in a competition, don't just compete— challenge someone.
