LONDON, UK & SAN JOSE, CA --- August 25, 2015 – Xactly (NYSE:XTLY), a leading provider of cloud-based incentive solutions, today announced Connect Managed Services (Connect), a venture-funded provider of managed communications services to global businesses such as UBS, ION Trading, and Johnson & Johnson, is using Xactly to manage employee performance. Cloud-based Xactly is now delivering compensation transparency and improving sales team efficiency just two weeks after implementation began.

Sales success is crucial to Connect’s growth plan, and its management team wanted to drive employee behavior toward this goal. Having raised venture capital based on its track record and ambitious plans, Connect defined a new strategy and began a project to enhance its business operations and processes, as it scaled up to service enterprises across the globe. After implementing Salesforce CRM, the company reviewed how it compensated and incentivized sales staff, and was ready to take its Incentive Compensation Management (ICM) to the next level.

Connect selected Xactly because of its ease of use and strong integration with Salesforce. With Xactly, they are able to multi-layer compensation plans for each sales representative based on configurable parameters such as quota, region, and campaigns. This helps to align employee behavior and motivate the sales team.

Once the incentive plans were configured, it took the company only two weeks to deploy Xactly. Managed Services Director at Connect, Jay Hancock said, “From the first call to implementation, Xactly’s support has been first-class. The team offered valuable advice to help us design measurable and accurate incentive plans.”

Hancock added: “We have a five-year plan to double the sales team and open offices in North America and Asia-Pacific, which we are on track to execute. Xactly provides visibility to both management and reps across the business; it removes the pain of manual processes and gives our sales teams the information to go out and win deals.”

Connect looks forward to the increased sales performance that will come as a result of incenting the right behavior. If your company is also interested in using compensation as a strategic lever, find out more about Strategic Services and Xactly Insights™ today.
