MWITA-SBO-2026-002 · Evidence B · P1
Identifiable sales rankings were associated with higher quota attainment and lower salesperson turnover, while anonymous rankings improved quota attainment but increased turnover.
What this does not establish
Does not establish that public ranking is universally beneficial; compensation design, comparison-group size and organizational culture may moderate outcomes.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Adding quota information to identifiable rankings did not significantly improve quota attainment, although turnover fell.
What would change the reading
Track replication, revised records, denominators, confidence intervals, context changes and deployed commercial or human outcomes.
