This is a pumped-up hit song to remind your team that they have that inner fire. Take pride in hitting those targets as a team and as an individual.
EYE OF A TIGER
No pumped up list can be complete without this Rocky classic. Sometimes your sales representatives need that extra 10% of motivation, and this is the song to do just that.
It’s a fun song, but at its core, it tells your sales representative team what they need to achieve to succeed, the eye of a tiger.
FIGHTER — CHRISTINA AGUILERA

A company needs to keep on ‘rolling down the river,’ and it needs the motivation and hard work of its focused, forward-looking sales team behind it to achieve this.
THE CHAMPION - CARRIE UNDERWOOD ft. LUDACRIS
"I'm a fighter like Rocky. Put you flat on your back like Ali. Yeah, I'm the greatest, I'm stronger. Paid my dues, can't lose, Imma own ya, ay" - Carrie Underwood
