Spreadsheets have all sorts of tricks. In fact, there are probably some you don’t know about.

But there’s no magic Excel formula to quickly track commissions or make sales rewards transparent. Still, many growing businesses use spreadsheets to track commissions.

That costs you time. It takes forever to run the numbers and then you have to answer questions about the numbers.

When sales people can’t answer their own questions, they come to you. Questions? Concerns? Payments gone wrong? It’s a game of “Find-the-Document” for you. That takes even more time.

Let’s face it: spreadsheets eat up your limited resources that would be better spent strategically.

It may be time to let automation tools simplify this costly process.

Say hello to fewer errors and more time for strategic tasks.
