Connecting Salesforce and Xactly was a turning point. The downstream effect of compensation within the entire revenue lifecycle is lost without a solution like Xactly. You have to measure it if it matters. What other way do you have to measure if people are happy, if an incentive worked, and if your organization’s goals are being hit?
Xactly is very easy for reps to use. They simply click on their incentive statement to see their results, and click again to drill down to deal details. Salespeople now trust their compensation calculations, which has given them back some time to focus on selling rather than calculating.
Using Xactly gives us a competitive advantage in retaining top performers. When I talk to my peers and potential employees, they are impressed that we are doing this and it’s a draw for them to work at the company.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is incentive compensation management important?
Incentive compensation management (ICM) software combines sales and employee data in one place, facilitating the easy calculation of commissions. Effective incentive compensation programs help sales reps focus more closely on their performance, while encouraging them to manage leads and close deals. When ICM software provides you with accuracy and transparency, it helps motivate sales personnel, retain key staff, and drive better sales performance, while interactive dashboards help the organization to highlight sales opportunities.
How do you choose the best ICM software?
Choosing ICM software is a multi-stage process that starts by analyzing your business needs and goals, and how you plan to incentivize sales reps.
- Prepare a list of potential vendors and ask them for proposals.
- Analyze their submissions according to the ability to calculate sales commissions and how their software integrates with platforms such as your CRM, ERP and HCM software.
- Evaluate software vendors against factors such as solution scalability, flexibility, automation, payment accuracy, and software support.
- Compare the vendor solution's operating costs against your current costs.
- Speak to their customers and check customer reviews.
