Learn MoreThere are three things to consider when building compensation plans. The first is that comp plans should be simple. Make sure they can be explained quickly, and that they don’t involve too many moving parts. The second is that they are logical. You want your comp plans to accomplish the goals your company has set. Lastly, comp plans should be fair. They should be attainable and pay your sales team properly for the work they do.
The three main benefits of sales compensation software include transparency, error reduction, and motivation. Because compensation information is centralized in a platform, everyone involved in the commission process gains a new level of transparency. Automated calculations reduces the risks of human error. And when reps have visibility into their compensation and can trust their payouts will be accurate, they are motivated to sell more.
The departments typically responsible for designing sales compensation plans are sales leadership, revenue operations, and finance. However, the organization responsible for designing sales compensation plans varies as organizations grow. In early organizations, it’s generally sales leadership who designs compensation plans. And in large organizations, this responsibility typically falls to revenue operations teams. No matter who is in charge, it’s important that sales compensation plans are simple, logical, and fair.
