Innovative Sales Performance Management Solution

Some of the critical challenges that sales teams face are transparency in compensation, incentives and sales goals. Let’s briefly gloss over these challenges here.

Transparency in goal setting : For sales in your business to excel, you need them to let in on what you require and how the company will move towards its goals. What is it that they need to invest in to succeed at selling your products and solutions?

‍Transparency in performance tracking : If the salespeople do not have a way to know how they are doing at any given time, how will they be held accountable if their performance is substandard? A clear indication of where they are relative to the sales goals is what salespeople need to keep them interested and motivated.

Transparency in compensation and incentives : This challenge is a significant bone of contention in the sales workforce. After all, this is what they live and work for. An element of opacity in the incentive plan could quickly shift their focus from what they do best: sales to operational hurdles, sometimes even demoralizing them.

A good part of sales performance management is also invested in insights derived from analytics. An intelligent analytics solution can bring up gaps to be closed much quicker than conventional methods and drive quicker solutions.

Large Multinational Pharma Studies to conclude with

Kennect has a success story to share with you. An association with a Large Multinational pharmaceutical giant. They had a challenge at hand when we joined hands. With minimal visibility across hierarchies, sales representatives had trouble understanding new incentive plans. Sales leaders could not estimate the efficiency of the new incentive plans. This communication gap led to a lot of misunderstandings and queries from sales reps. Until we joined hands, the Large Multinational pharma company had their entire product strategy run from spreadsheets in Excel.

This method also led to many discrepancies in pay-outs. A lot of focus was lost on operational hurdles rather than focusing on sales quotas and territories. Kennect proposed a solution that could bear the load of information and be responsive and insightful in real-time. Kennect ensured a short kick-off of two months to go live, and the Large Multinational pharma is now enjoying the benefits of an efficient Sales Performance Management solution. Cutting out almost 90 per cent of time spent on incentive processing, Kennect gave back sales teams valuable time to focus on sales strategies and individual quotas. Sales leaders can now assess the efficiency of compensation plans with reasonable accuracy.

Kennect’s SPM solution was not only a great fit, but it also proved to be a scalable one too. Some key highlights of the Large Multinational pharma company and Kennect synergy are

• 210 days saved annually for the Sales Operation team by way of incentive automation.
• Over 400 schemes configured and implemented every quarter across 20+ business units.
• A 12% faster issue resolution for the operations team.
• Short take-off period of fewer than two months.
