Most telemarketing employers offer up "incentive programs" to try and get you to sell more. Effectively, the program is something like "Sell five widgets, get a gift certificate to Sizzler," although some places make it even more insidious by giving you "points" that you can later redeem for things out of a catalog. We equate this program with the "skee-ball" economy system where 15,000 tickets (seems like a lot) boils down to three Hello Kitty erasers and a solar calculator shaped like a frog.
Sony is doing the same thing with Gamestop employees by offering them points if their store is the top seller in the district. If they accomplish that, they get 20,000 points that can be used on the Sony/Gamestop Rewards site (now there's a hot url) to buy things like games and ... games. According to Gamers Reports 20,000 points = roughly $350 in game points, or almost six games. Inspiring? We aren't sure about the games, but if they could redeem those points for anything in the store, it might work a bit better.
