Why Retail Managers Should Rally Their Teams for Score with Intel® Core™: It’s Ultra Personal

If you’re a retail manager looking to increase engagement, boost sales, and strengthen your team culture this summer, one strategy you can’t afford to miss is getting your store involved in Score with Intel® Core™: It’s Ultra Personal.

This high-energy learning competition, which runs until July 30, 2025, is about transforming your team’s performance, energizing your store, and giving back to your local community.

Here’s why you should get your team in the game today.

1. Elevate Knowledge, Elevate Sales

At the heart of Score with Intel® Core™ is an engaging series of trainings that help associates become experts in Intel® Core™ Ultra processors and the latest AI PC technology. Weekly trainings and bite-sized quizzes (called Ultra Sparks) keep the momentum going and offer meaningful, job-relevant insights.

Associates will learn:

• How to recommend the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra 5, 7, or 9 processors.
• How to position AI-enabled PCs for different customer types—from gamers and creators to students and remote workers.
• How to demonstrate key features using sales tools.

With each training, your associates sharpen their ability to confidently guide customers toward the best tech for their needs, boosting both customer satisfaction and your store’s bottom line.

2. Team Participation Means Store-Level Wins

Score with Intel® Core™ offers a great chance for individual rewards, but stores can also benefit. Stores that rally at least four verified reps to complete trainings and Ultra Sparks are eligible for store-level prizing.

That means the whole store has a chance to:

• Win up to a $20,000 in-store gift card to award a nominated local K–12 non-profit school.
• Receive Visa gift cards for top-performing reps—up to $1,000 each for the Grand Prize team

Participating in Score with Intelׅ® Core™ brings associates together, builds morale, and connects your store to the larger community.

3. Create a Culture of Healthy Competition

Let’s face it: a little competition can be a great thing. Score with Intel® Core™ infuses a healthy spirit of competition into your store with leaderboards, surprise Mystery Shops, and earning points. Associates earn points based on training completion, quiz performance, and their overall speed and accuracy.

Your store’s score reflects a true team effort, and everyone contributes to the win. It's a simple but powerful way to boost daily performance while building camaraderie on the floor.

4. It’s Easy to Get Started

Registering your store takes just minutes. From there, your job is to:

• Encourage participation from at least four associates.
• Make sure your team is completing weekly trainings and daily Ultra Sparks.
• Nominate a local K–12 non-profit school by July 30 for the chance to give back in a big way.

Everything is tracked on your Intel® Retail Edge Program store dashboard, so you can monitor your store’s progress in real-time and keep the energy high.

5. Real Rewards That Matter

This competition is loaded with tangible, valuable prizes¹:

• Individual Grand Prizes include trips to Universal Orlando Resort for top-performing associates.
• Weekly Drawings offer cool tech, like Meta Quest 3 headsets, e-scooters, camping gear, and more.
• Store-Level Rewards that benefit your team and community.

Plus, the knowledge and confidence your associates gain during the competition translates to real-world selling success, long after the summer ends.
