THE ACHVD FIELD GUIDE
Start with a first win, add a milestone that fits your sales cycle, and keep a longer-term target to build towards. Here are ten deal-based ideas with rules you can actually explain.
These are starting points, not proven performance benchmarks. “Starter template” means the rule exists in achvd’s current code; “Custom idea” means a suggested rule you would configure. achvd is preparing early access, with integration validation still underway.

CLEAR RULES. MEANINGFUL MILESTONES.
01 / Starter template
1 deal won · all time
Recognise a first recorded win. This is a simple entry point that does not ask a new rep to beat an experienced colleague.
Before you use it: Decide whether past wins count. An all-time target with historical data recognises the first win in the available record, not necessarily the first win since joining the programme.
02 / Custom idea
5 deals won · all time
Add an attainable step between a first win and a long-term trophy. For a team with longer sales cycles, a lifetime milestone avoids an arbitrary monthly deadline.
Before you use it: Use a count of won deals with an all-time period and a target of five. The name and target are a suggested custom achievement, not a bundled template.
03 / Starter template
3 deals won · one day
Mark an unusually busy closing day. Use it only if several wins in a day are plausible in your sales motion.
Before you use it: A day is a calendar period in the team’s timezone, not a rolling 24-hour window. Avoid encouraging reps to delay entering a win just to group deals together.
04 / Starter template
5 deals won · one week
Give a regular closing milestone a weekly rhythm. Every rep who reaches five qualifies; this is not a prize reserved for the highest seller.
Before you use it: Keep the rule separate from a leaderboard. If five weekly wins would require months of normal activity, choose a more suitable count or a monthly period.
05 / Starter template
10 deals won · one month
Make a month of repeated wins visible. It recognises a count of deals, so it does not depend on one exceptionally large contract.
Before you use it: Ten is a starting template value, not an industry benchmark. Review your team’s actual deal pace before choosing it.
06 / Starter template · example target
One deal worth at least 25,000 · one month
Recognise a substantial single win. The example is 25,000 in your chosen currency; replace it with a meaningful amount for your team.
Before you use it: Measure the largest won deal, not the sum of several deals. achvd’s money targets can be tuned from team history, so this example is not a promise about the amount installed for every team.
07 / Starter template · example target
100,000 in total won deal value · one month
Recognise a month’s combined deal value. For example, five wins of 20,000 reach a 100,000 target in the same currency.
Before you use it: This sums won deal amounts; it does not measure cash collected or profit. Choose a consistent currency and confirm the amount used before setting a target.
08 / Starter template
10 deals created · one week
Acknowledge work that creates future opportunities, particularly where closes are less frequent.
Before you use it: The current rule counts created deals. It does not automatically verify qualification or deal quality. Use it only when your team already has a clear, consistently applied definition of a real opportunity; avoid rewarding duplicate records.
09 / Custom idea
50 deals won · all time
Add a long-term milestone before Century Club. It can give an established rep another visible step without making every trophy depend on a monthly reset.
Before you use it: Use an all-time count of won deals with a target of 50. This is a suggested custom achievement, not a bundled template.
10 / Starter template
100 deals won · all time
Celebrate a sustained record of wins. This milestone belongs in a collection that can build over time.
Before you use it: For a rep closing two deals per month, 100 wins would take about 50 months from zero. Keep a nearer milestone alongside it; 100 is not a universally appropriate target.
START SMALL
Our suggested starting mix is one first-win milestone, one recurring milestone and one long-term milestone. It is a planning recommendation, not a tested formula for higher sales.
After the first month, ask which milestones felt meaningful and which felt arbitrary. Review the target for future use openly, rather than moving it without telling the team. Keep recognition separate from compensation and formal performance assessment.
A TEMPLATE TO REUSE
Copy this into your team notes. The worked example uses Double Digits; change the target and period deliberately.
HubSpot documents deal owners, dates, amounts and deal status. Check those definitions when reviewing your records. A CRM deal amount is not automatically collected revenue.
USING THESE IDEAS WITH ACHVD
The current HubSpot connector is built around deals created, won, lost and moved between stages. The achievement engine supports counts and amount-based rules over day, week, month or all-time periods. The examples above use those rule types.
Earned trophies are designed to stay in a rep’s collection; period-based achievements can be earned again in another period. Historical imports award matching achievements silently, while new achievements can be announced in Slack or Discord.
Calls, booked meetings, working-day streaks and personal-best comparisons are outside the current HubSpot achievement support. We are still validating the real integration workflow before opening access.
