Incentive Compensation Management’s Place in the Revenue Lifecycle

Designing comp plans that reward your Sales teams for prioritizing the right deals is the first step in aligning your compensation strategy with top-down objectives. But accelerating performance requires effective administration of those plans, with fast and accurate calculations and on-time payments to keep GTM teams focused, and robust reporting to always know where you stand to fuel better planning and incentive program design. 

Xactly’s Intelligent Revenue Platform delivers predictable, profitable, and resilient revenue by breaking down the silos across your go-to-market teams to accelerate performance and unlock revenue performance.

Xactly takes its customers’ needs and feedback into account when it comes to product development. When we ask for specific functionality, Xactly listens. That’s part of what makes Xactly a business partner and not just a vendor. We have tremendous support and experience new intelligence and innovations with Xactly.

Xactly Incent is the solution that people in the sales compensation industry use most widely, and the amount of support my team receives from Xactly and its extensive partner network is exceptional.

Xactly has taken the area of sales compensation to a different level – we’re not just talking about the pay, we’re talking about how we go to market, we’re talking about sales strategy and how we support our sales organization.

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.

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.
