No system of record with different levels of access. We want people to see their projected earnings. We want to make it competitive. And we want to make it really easy to look at our recognized or earned commissions versus what we’re paying out. QuotaPath has made my job way easier. It’s made things more transparent, and our comp plans are way more organized. It’s a much quicker process. I would not go back to a spreadsheet now that we have this.” — Sarah Count, Chief Operating Officer
