In my own opinion and experience, incentives and contests will not motivate someone who is not already motivated and determined in building their own business.
We need to remember that what really motivates people is their "WHY", meaning the core foundational reasons for doing the business in the first place. This is something that lies at Heart and that is so fundamental that no one can really stop this person if her "WHY" is strong enough. On the other hand, if the "WHY" is not strong enough as to motivate the person to get started and do what needs to be done to build their business, meet their goals and achieved success, nothing will really be powerful enough to get them started... even a small incentive or contest.
I personally feel that what is most important is to find a way that each person - when ever possible - can feel that we truly have their interest at heart and that they are important to us... not an easy task to accomplish in a virtual world though ;-)
However, an incentive or contest will definitely bring those that I really motivated and working their business anyway, to move one step further, to reach forward to get that incentive. So, it allows your leader to give the best of themselves and it allows you to really see who are your leaders.
