When renowned Renaissance Man and historically revered painter Leonardo da Vinci crafted the legendary Mona Lisa in the early 1500s, he was an accomplished artist honing his brilliant talents in the single-minded pursuit of creating something that would both stand out and stand the test of time.
In that spirit, memoryBlue is officially commissioning each and every one of our alumni to pursue their own “Mona Lisa” through The memoryBlue Million Dollar Challenge!
This is a marathon race to earn a whopping $1,000,000 through professional sales in a single year. Pure and simple.
Here’s the best part: when it happens, we’re going to pay that alum a $100,000 bounty simply as a way of saying, “Job well done!”
Former Elephants – are you ready for an expedition unlike any other? This mountain won’t be an easy climb.
Reaching the Summit
memoryBlue will recognize and reward the first official member of our alumni network to earn $1,000,000 in a given calendar year as the competition winner.
Upon verification of a legitimate claim, we will declare the competition complete, announce the winner far and wide, and throw a massive party for the winning alum!
The memoryBlue Million Dollar Challenge is the quest of a lifetime. In fact, we expect that it may take years to complete. Some estimates suggest that as few as 1 in 500 professional sellers working complex, enterprise-level deals make this happen any given year.
If there is no winner in a calendar year, things start anew the next year.
How to Enter
Any alum in good standing (please check the official Alumni Directory to see who qualifies) working in a professional sales role is officially registered in the contest every year.
- As soon as the alum earns $1,000,000 (gross pay) via professional sales, he or she must capture an image of their personal pay stub and submit an email to milliondollarchallenge@memoryblue.com immediately.
- The email should include name, job title, email address, physical mailing address, phone number, employer name, employer contact information and the pay stub image.
- The first submitted, verified claim wins $100,000 from memoryBlue.
- After memoryBlue officially announces a winner, the competition will be considered closed.
- Submission of a claim means the submitting individual agrees to allow memoryBlue to use their name and likeness in promotional activities related to the accomplishment (ex. social media, web content, case study, etc).
- All submissions received (email date/time stamp) in the same calendar month will be considered a tie.
Breaking a Tie
If multiple submissions are received in a single calendar month, memoryBlue will break the tie in the following way:
- The exact moment (by day or date range) when the alum hit the $1,000,000 earnings mark (if it is possible to determine).
- Final gross pay (to the penny) for the entire calendar year in which $1,000,000 was earned.
- The alum with the most recent memoryBlue departure date (i.e. who did it the fastest).
- Coin flip.
Aspirations of a Champion
At memoryBlue, we pride ourselves on a commitment to giving the very best performers the biggest rewards. We carefully screen, hire, train and elevate the careers of high-tech sales pros who thirst for this sort of competition and are motivated by a massive challenge.
A champion dreams big and commits to the hard work it takes to achieve those dreams. We have more than 325 of these types of hustlers in our alumni network and we cannot wait to see one of them smash this $1M barrier in one single year.
When it happens, we’ll throw a party for the ages — and drop a HUGE pile of money in their lap!
