Sales Compensation

Custom Sales Compensation Solutions for High-Performing Teams

The sales engine at your company works hard. But it’s an uphill battle to reach the bottom line increases your stakeholders and board want to see. What’s more, you must continually rethink your business models and marketing strategies to keep pace with the ever-changing economic marketplace — let alone those sales targets and stakeholder demands.

A well-designed sales compensation package can enable your company to focus its sales activity on desired results, tie rewards directly to achievement level, and gain sufficient flexibility to weather market shifts. And as your company’s business model and marketing plan vary, your sales compensation models can reflect this new strategy.

What Challenges Does Your Sales Compensation Plan Need to Solve?

  • Break-even analyses
  • Changing metrics analyses
  • Harmonization of plans across the organization
  • Consideration of thresholds
  • Timing of payouts
  • Achievement of a consistent structure with variable parameters
  • Attainment of flexibility to include verticals 

Our Sales Compensation Consulting Services

We achieve a successful sales compensation program in four steps: 

Clearly define sales expectations and goals that are realistic yet challenging. 

Reward achievement
with competitive compensation and motivational features that provide a win-win for both the company and the sales force.

Monitor the results, modifying the plan when necessary and keeping the sales personnel informed. 

Our effective sales compensation solutions typically comprise one or more of the following components:

  • Base salary or draw against commissions 
  • Commissions tied to short-term goal attainment 
  • Incentives/bonuses tied to annual sales results 
  • “Spiffs” and other focused incentives 
  • Achievement and/or career recognition
