Everything You Need to Know about Incentive Compensation

In today’s competitive market, an effective incentive compensation plan management strategy plays a crucial role
in a company’s success. Through incentive compensation, businesses can manage the performance of their salesforce
to improve sales outcomes and drive their company toward growth.
Benefits of Sales Compensation Plans
With efficient sales compensation plans, you can have a happy workplace where your salesforce is highly engaged to go beyond their assigned sales quotas resulting in them earning higher incentives than their on target earnings (OTE). A well-run incentive compensation program can greatly benefit an organization’s growth and market expansion. Here are some of the ways your company could benefit from a sound sales compensation plan -
  • Improving Sales – Like all employees, your salesforce is particularly motivated by incentives. When you positively reinforce their understanding of organizational needs and link it to their individual success, you’ll notice a visible increase in sales.
  • Increasing Employee Engagement – If your employees are not aware of specific expectations and may not have visibility into their ongoing performance, their engagement will go down. Hence, providing the right incentive structure, interactive reporting, and personalized performance nudges play a very important role and engage the salesforce much better. These base sales incentive plans can be further overlayed with short-term contests to further bring excitement and achieve any immediate business needs.
  • Boosting Morale – With a good incentive plan, your salesforce will feel appreciated and recognized. It would keep them happy and driven during their complex sales discussions. The right incentive structure will help with aligning the behaviors/activities of the salesforce with the company’s goals. With their focus on work, you can expect them to produce a greater output.
  • Building Team Spirit – Offering components around team incentives often unites salespeople to work for a common goal and help each other to reach greater heights. When everybody is willing to put in the same amount of dedication and hard work, you’re sure to achieve extraordinary results.
  • Reducing Turnover Rate – When an effective incentive plan is at work, the salesforce is highly engaged and excited to contribute to the growth of the organization. Having the right levers in your incentive plan ensures that the salesforce has the potential to make significantly more money if they continue to do better. A plan that is competitive in the labor market and provides the right kind of earning opportunities significantly improves the retention of top performers.
Best Practices for Designing a Sales Compensation Plan
It isn’t always about what you offer but how you do it. If you plan to revolutionize your sales compensation plans, there
are a few best practices that you can apply to keep your salesforce happy in the long term –
  • Choosing the Right Performance Measures – You need to decide which key performance indicators (KPIs) you wish to choose for your sales compensation plans. If you want your system to work efficiently, you must focus on the aspects that align with company goals and deliver results.
  • Laying Out the Goals Clearly – You need to make sure that your employees are completely aware of what’s expected from them. If they know what they need to do in order to achieve their sales targets, the process becomes much more efficient and easier for the workforce.
  • Adding a Spirit of Competition –As social animals, humans thrive on healthy competition. Therefore, you must design your sales compensation plan to spark the competitive spirit in your salesforce through short-term contests, making the accomplishment of challenging tasks more gratifying.
  • Pay for Performance –Because incentive programs are performance-based, it’s essential to reward your salespeople who do a good job, while the low-performing employees should be compensated minimally. Such a distinction will motivate high performers to keep improving, while encouraging poor performers to work harder and get to next performance tiers.
  • Measuring Goal Commitment – You need to pay close attention to setting the right and fair sales targets. Goals should be realistic and able to motivate your salesforce to work harder. Hence, you need to ensure that salesforce is aligned with sales quota setting methodology. It will also be important to further collect input and feedback during the quota setting phase for sales management to make sure your team will be committed to the goals and other expectations.
Why Use Automation Tools for Compensation Sales Management?
Organizing your sales compensation plan doesn’t have to be tedious when you have automation tools at your disposal. With quicker processes, better insights, deeper understanding, and better communication, you couldn’t go wrong investing in an automated solution for sales compensation management. The accurate incentive calculations using automation tools and timely performance tracking can motivate the salesforce to go above and beyond their existing performance levels to earn a significantly higher percentage of their on target earnings. Sales incentives are incredibly important for the sales team as it motivates them and drives them to push forward. Automation of incentive plan administration can also help all the different program stakeholders get benefits specific to their needs. If you plan to implement automation for your sales compensation plan management, here are a couple of things to keep in mind –
  • Scalability – You need to make sure your automation tools support downstream and upstream system integration. When you have a modular plan design, the need for manual involvement will be less. Hence, the system will be able to scale as per business demands, such as new product releases, additional roles, product maturity, etc.
  • Actionable Insights – Comprehensive performance progress reports and scorecards are necessary to provide necessary and current insights to your salesforce. With interactive and engaging dashboards, your teams will get a better grasp of the IC plan and improve their alignment with company goals whenever necessary. The reports can also be useful to analysts to identify various plan flaws and fix them.
  • Efficiency – Administrative modifications and interventions will be reduced due to a customizable design, integrated processes, and cutting-edge tech. With quicker adjustments, speedier executions, and better operating excellence, your organization will witness greater efficiency.
  • Adaptability – Because the market dynamics change rapidly, your automated incentive management solution should be able to adjust to the changes quickly. With built-in components, visualizations, statistics, and model simulations, you can make the right decisions that benefit your company.
