No feedback from SalesForce; would you rate our hackathon project?

3 pointsby mikitamikadoover 11 years ago
Hi fellows,<p>We're one of the teams who participated in SalesForce hackathon and built SumoSales in less than 5 days (from idea to the app).<p>Since SalesForce responded with a general "sorry, u're not in" email as well as didn't even look at some of the entries (now there is a huge scandal going around this hackathon), I want to ask real hackers to rate our work.<p>Basically, we built an app to gamify working environment (not just sales).<p>Check our hack SumoSales and imagine you can compete with colleagues on the number of commits / lines of codes per day for a prize of lunch.<p>Would be awesome to hear any feedback after the 5 days of work. Negative comments are as welcome as positive - better than nothing anyways :)<p>Thanks!

Being a sales manager I've had sales people lose their steam and become unmotivated. I think this is the perfect way to gamify sales and reward amongst peers. Has the old school way of sales died? "ABC", Always Be Closing! Great job on the app. I give it a perfect 10.
