10 Sales Games That Turn Bored Reps Into Engaged, Knowledgable Sales Machines

Your sales numbers aren't where they need to be. Your team has been giving out incorrect numbers to clients and making costly mistakes. Or they aren't keeping up to date with the latest product updates, and missing out on a promoting features that could make an easy sale.

The usual fix? Another training session. But let's be honest. Long PowerPoint decks don't move the needle. 

Your reps zone out. Nothing sticks.

Real improvement comes from practice. Not lectures.

Sales games give your team hands-on experience in minutes. They practice pitches. They handle objections. They compete and learn at the same time.

Here are 10 sales training games that boost skills without the fluff. No complex setup needed. Just plug them into your next meeting and watch performance improve

‍

1. Never Have I Ever (Sales Edition)

This lighthearted game helps sales teams open up, laugh, and share real experiences from the job. Each person says something they’ve never done in sales, like “Never have I ever missed a follow-up call”, and whoever has done it raises their hand.

Use the ready-made Never Have I Ever template on Slides With Friends to play this game.

‍

2. Objection Handling Hot Seat

This is a quick-fire game where one person sits in the “hot seat” while others act as customers. They throw out common objections like “It’s too expensive” or “I’ll think about it.” The rep has a minute to respond before rotating turns.

You can use tools like Gong.io or Chorus.ai to record mock sales calls and review how reps handle objections as a team.

‍

3. Cold-Calling Blues!

Cold-calling Blues! is a guided discussion activity designed by Graham Roberts-Phelps. 

Split your team into small groups and have them share what makes them hesitate to pick up the phone. This can be fear of rejection, not knowing what to say, or tough gatekeepers. After five minutes, ask them to write quick fixes or “next-call actions” for each hesitation.

Bring everyone back to share one key barrier and one action they’ll try on their next call. Wrap up by having each rep choose a real prospect to call the next day using their new approach.

‍

4. Sales Call Simulator Game

This is a role-play game using the YesChat.ai tool. It lets sales reps simulate realistic sales calls with virtual prospects. You pick the scenario (industry, product, objections), and the AI responds like a customer.

This is one of the best fun sales training ideas to practice pitching and adaptive conversation skills.

‍

5. Hall of Fame

This is a recognition game that boosts morale and celebrates your team's unique strengths.

Create fun award categories like “The Smoothest Closer,” “Best Listener,” “Most Positive Prospecting Energy,” or “CRM Ninja.” Have the team vote anonymously on who fits the category and reveal the winners. 

This activity celebrates everyone’s strengths, builds camaraderie, and reinforces positive sales behaviors.

Try the Team Celebration Award template on Slides With Friends to play this game with your remote or hybrid sales team. 

‍

6. Sales Bingo

In sales bingo, you create bingo cards filled with common sales training cues. During the meeting, reps mark off squares as these moments come up in conversation. The person who gets a bingo can get a reward or a free benefit. 

You can use Bingo Baker, My Free Bingo Cards, or Google Jamboard to create bingo cards online and share them with the teams. 

‍

7. Spin the Sales Wheel Challenge

This is a spontaneous challenge game that keeps your team on their toes and adds surprise to routine meetings.

Create a digital wheel filled with prompts like “Pitch a random object,” “Share your funniest client story,” “Handle this objection in 30 seconds,” or “Do your best product demo impression.”

Spin the wheel during team huddles or at the end of a long training session, whoever it lands on takes on the challenge!

Create a custom wheel using Wheel of Names, Picker Wheel, or Miro Board that meets your sales training module. 

‍

8. Themed Trivia (Sales Edition)

This is an icebreaker game that energizes your team before big meetings or during slow seasons.

Run a quick Themed Trivia corner before a big meeting or during the holiday season. Get everyone to show up in costume or use themed Zoom backgrounds.

Throw in fast pop quizzes, bonus points for creativity, and a live leaderboard. 

You can also try pre-made Movie night, Harry Potter trivia, or Halloween mini game templates on Slides With Friends to save the effort of building from scratch. 

‍

9. Gift of the Gab

This training game is like a sales version of Charades or Articulate.

Split your team into groups and pick one “talker” per round. Give that person a list of sales-related phrases like “building rapport” or “qualifying a lead.” They have one minute to describe each phrase without using the actual words, while their teammates try to guess as many as possible before time runs out.

If you’re a virtual sales team, use Skribbl.io, where the “talker” can draw the hint, while others guess the phrase. 

‍

10. Virtual Scavenger Hunt

Create a list of sales-related items or themes such as “Something that represents success,” “Your favorite sales book,” or “An object that reminds you of a big win.”

Share the list on-screen and give everyone 3–5 minutes to find the items around their workspace or home. You can assign points for winners and crown them with “Sales Explorer of the Day.”

Use this Virtual Scavenger Hunt template on Slides With Friends to get everyone involved. Team members can join with custom avatars, answer quick polls, and see the leaderboard scores in real-time.
