Quotes:

“By showcasing client achievements and progress, you are encouraging a healthy competitive spirit and also fostering connections amongst members. This social aspect of gamification not only motivates clients to push themselves, but creates a supportive environment that celebrates everyone's victories.” [Megan, 6:41]

“It’s really just what you put into it and how you instill it into your community, because you are in control of how the leaderboard gamifies and comes into that community. So you can make it toxic, or you can make it a fruitful endeavor.” [Megan, 7:24]

“Throw a wrench in your plans or introduce something that you didn’t think you had to introduce I think is just a way to liven up your studio, increase your retention rates, and then improve your new client intro offer.” [Nick, 16:58]
