Welcome to the class. You are on your way to becoming a sales compensation design expert. Yep, this is the same video presented here: www.salescompcentral.com/
You will learn how sales compensation is part of a performance management ecosystem and how it directly aligns employee motivation with business goals.
Sales compensation design begins with job definition. Learn how to confirm job content to create the right sales compensation plan. Yes, each job gets its own incentive plan.
Let's get on the same page. This lesson will clarify the difference between bonus and commission formula. We will confirm the definition of mix, leverage and upside. We will both know what a 3x leverage plan means!
Here is the secret sauce. Follow these design principles to craft powerful incentive plans regardless of job type, industry or geographic location.
Explore the menu of incentive formulas. Configure the right formula to match the sales job objective.
Base pay is the other half of total compensation. Consider different base pay programmes to manage this half of the pay package.
Make sure these mission critical subsystems are working correctly. Crediting specifies when the seller gets paid. Quotas equalise territories for earning purposes. Account assignment configures the seller's territory.
Know how you are spending your incentive budget. What will the programme cost? How will the redesign impact sellers? Work the numbers to ensure you are meeting budget expectations.
It’s up to you! Follow these steps to review the sales compensation programme on an annual basis.
The sales compensation programme operates day-in and day-out. Manage the programme as issues arise. Ensure programme administration is timely and accurate.
Let's take a look at some typical pay plans for territory representatives, account managers, sales development representatives and district sales managers.
Yikes! Here are solutions for select design challenges: multi-year contracts, rental and usage revenue, commodity pricing, open territories, specification selling, new products and markets, and channel managers.
