Open Report →Three structural flaws appear in nearly every broken compensation plan: team-based metrics that sever individual accountability, working-capital-style metrics most reps can't define, and inadvertent rewards for bad behavior like extending payment terms.
ReadFrom a small restaurant chain to a €1.5B global manufacturer, revenue and margin move when individual reward is tightly connected to individual behavior. Compensation design is a function of human nature, not company size.
ReadOverachievers exceeding budget by 10%+ generate the bulk of incremental growth in most sales organizations. Yet most companies hire within rigid salary and bonus bands that attract average talent and cap exceptional contribution.
ReadBig goals without a clear HOW are aspirations with a due date. Real strategy is competitive honesty plus deliberate alignment of organization, resources, and metrics. Without that, ambitious targets become competing mandates that optimize one metric at the expense of another.
ReadP&L ownership begins with a sober read of where the company can credibly win — which segments and customers match its operational capabilities and innovation strengths against competition. Choosing where to compete, building the organization to execute, and standing behind it daily.
ReadMost B2B companies dramatically underestimate the revenue sitting inside their existing customer base. Pair share-of-wallet with cross-sell motion, and existing accounts can grow 10–20% with much less effort than equivalent new customer acquisition.
ReadCompliance through mandate creates resistance. Compliance through alignment creates habits. Tying monthly bonus validation to opportunity entry transformed CRM data quality without an enforcement campaign.
ReadBad metrics drive smart people toward bad behavior. A past-due-receivables metric pushed salespeople to extend payment terms (which mechanically reduced past-due balances) rather than collecting faster. Replacing it with DSO at the individual account level fixed the behavior.
ReadA six-month feedback loop is too slow to change behavior. By the time a salesperson receives a payout, they can't clearly connect it to specific actions from months ago. Frequency of reinforcement matters as much as the size of the reward.
ReadWhen a new individual incentive plan is rolled out, some reps will earn nothing where they used to earn something under team-based plans. Those conversations — about coaching, role fit, or transition — are typically overdue. Comp plans are performance management tools, whether you intend that or not.
ReadIf only your largest customers buy your full portfolio, you don't have a product problem — you have a coverage and motion problem. Mid-tier customers rarely refuse additional services; they're simply never asked.
ReadThe best incentive plans align rep self-interest with customer outcomes — not against them. When your salesforce earns more by making customers more successful, you've designed something that compounds. When the math runs the other way, you've built something that decays.
