Key Insights from The Session

Sales Compensation Is a Balance Between Growth and Sustainability

Plans must drive revenue while preventing burnout and protecting profitability. Incentives should align with both short-term wins and long-term value creation.

Target Setting and Plan Design Must Work Together

Fairness in sales comp begins with accurate target setting. Design and targets cannot operate in isolation—they must be modeled and aligned together.

Simplicity and Communication Are Critical

Even the best-designed plan fails if sales teams don’t understand it. Use clear language, manager enablement, and technology to improve clarity and trust.
