It's only a bit over a week until the Intel® Retail Edge Program kicks off its 7th Annual Score with Intel® Core™ competition. The competition has continued to grow year after year and is now highly anticipated by retailers, managers, sales reps, and local schools.

Why? Here are a few reasons:

• Special, manager-only prizing^1,2.
• Stores and reps compete for huge prizes^1,2.
• Reinforces team building as staff comes together to compete as store team.
• Reps gain valuable product and sales knowledge.
• Managers nominate local K-12 schools to win up to a $25,000 donation.

Give Back to Your Local Community

We talk a lot about customer loyalty and repeat customers. Retailers would have a difficult time surviving without either. Most businesses seek out ways to give back to and support their local communities. Score with Intel® Core™ can help you with that.

Over the last six years, and as a direct result of manager nominations made during Score with Intel® Core™, Intel has given more than $1.5 million to local schools.

During the competition, managers must nominate a minimum of two local K-12 schools. Reps vote on nominated schools and if your store wins, the school that received the most votes from your store will win the $25,000 tech donation.

These donations have helped the winning schools fund technology initiatives, such as adding PCs to their computer libraries and installing security devices to help protect students and staff.

Watch this short video to hear winning managers and school administrators from last year’s competition discuss how Score with Intel® Core™ makes a real difference to local schools.

Sales Team Education and Motivation

The Intel® Retail Edge Program provides a great community where reps can interact with peers, earn prizes and Chips, learn about the latest Intel® technologies and devices, and get sales tips. While these benefits are available throughout the year, everything gets amped up during Score with Intel® Core™.

Bring It!

It seems this friendly store-to-store competition brings out the fierceness in everyone. We’ve found through the years that while competition for individual prizes is hot and heavy, everyone bands together to bolster, help, and motivate their entire team. Participating retailers tell us they can’t put a price on that type of learning, training, and team building.

By participating in Score with Intel® Core™, reps can:

• Complete weekly Learning activities to earn Chips and prizes
• Challenge themselves and increase their knowledge with daily quizzes
• Learn key Intel® product and technology features and benefits to engage customers
• Access sales aids to assist in promoting premium products or add-ons
• Help local schools win an up to $25,000 technology donation
