"reap the rewards" is a common expression. I would use that instead.

Hi Nadia, I've actually never heard this phrase. I think I would say "to collect the goods."

Both Peter's and Jen Heavener's suggestions are good, but they mean very different things. What do you want to express, exactly?

After putting in a lot of effort you hope to “reap the goods” ( benefits, maybe it’s money, more knowledge, a certification)
