Incentive Compensation & Managing Sales Performance FAQ's

How can you evaluate sales performance?

You can evaluate your sales team performance by looking at reporting and leaderboards within your CRM and sales compensation software. QuotaPath, for example, provides direct insights into how a rep and a team is performing toward quota through attainment leaderboards. Take it a step further by running deal analyses. See how often your team or a rep discounts and what type of deals they optimize their commissions on, such as multi-year contracts.

Which individual or group holds the responsibility for managing sales performance?

The individual or group responsible for managing sales performance can vary depending on the size and structure of the company. In a small company, the owner or CEO may be responsible for sales performance. In a larger company, there may be a dedicated sales manager or team of sales managers responsible for managing sales performance. Revenue operations, or RevOps, may also measure sales effectiveness and performance and present that data directly to the sales team or arm their managers to coach accordingly.

What is the primary objective of performance management?

The primary objective of performance management is to improve employee performance and productivity. This can be done by setting clear goals and expectations, providing regular feedback, and offering opportunities for development. Performance management can also help to identify and address areas where employees need improvement.

 

Here are some of the specific objectives of performance management:

 

  • To align employee goals with organizational goals. This ensures that everyone is working towards the same objectives and that individual performance is contributing to the overall success of the organization.
  • To provide feedback and coaching to employees. This helps employees to identify their strengths and weaknesses and to develop their skills and abilities.
  • To identify areas for improvement. This allows employees to focus their efforts on areas where they can make the most progress.
  • To motivate employees and encourage them to perform at their best. This can be done through positive reinforcement, rewards, and opportunities for advancement.
  • To document employee performance. This information can be used for a variety of purposes, such as making hiring decisions, providing performance reviews, and making compensation decisions.

 

Performance management is an ongoing process that should be tailored to the specific needs of the organization and its employees. By setting clear goals, providing regular feedback, and offering opportunities for development, performance management can help to improve employee performance and productivity.

What are the benefits of sales compensation software?

Sales compensation is a sensitive matter. It’s a core component of your GTM strategy and your sales team’s livelihood. The entire process, from the compensation strategy through commission payments, deserves the same care and attention (and resources) that you would dedicate to customer service, risk mitigation, and employee satisfaction. Because without it, you risk missing company targets, compromising financial goals, and losing top talent.  Sales compensation software can help.  Use QuotaPath to:  

 

  • Make earnings data more accessible and implement changes with efficiency. No more breaking spreadsheets when it’s time to add a new comp plan, team, or rep.
  • Track and measure the performance of your sales team automatically and correctly.
  • Deliver visibility to your revenue organization by giving everyone access to real-time and forecasted earnings and attainment data. 
  • Align your sales team’s goals with your company’s to motivate your team and create a more cohesive GTM strategy.
  • Comply with accounting regulations (ASC 606, subtopic 340-40) by capitalizing incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, ie: sales commissions, if the costs are expected to be recovered.

 

If you aim to bring transparency, accuracy, and alignment to your commissions’ process, sales compensation and commission tracking software is the way to do it. Give your team a reason to hustle the next deal across the finish line by showing them how it impacts their overall earnings potential. And, give your RevOps and accounting teams relief from having to triple-check that their reps’ commission checks are right.
