Challenges

The broker incentive ecosystem was fragmented, manual, and lacked long-term structure.

• Offline and inconsistent program management: Broker incentives were administered regionally with limited standardization.

• Manual verification processes: Lead validation and delivery confirmation caused payout delays and administrative inefficiencies.

• Low transparency & trust gaps: Brokers had limited visibility into earnings, eligibility, and incentive calculations.

• No structured loyalty framework: High-performing brokers were not systematically differentiated or retained.

• Limited attribution tracking: Difficulty mapping broker influence to validated sales outcomes.

The organization required a centralized, automated loyalty platform to transform one-time commissions into a sustained performance and retention engine.

Personas Involved

• Auto Brokers & Referral Agents: Influenced customer decisions and generated qualified leads.

• Independent Sales Intermediaries: Drove bookings and supported vehicle conversions.

• Channel Sales Managers: Managed broker relationships, targets, and regional performance.

• Sales Leadership: Oversaw growth strategy, broker ROI, and channel expansion initiatives.

Platform Setup & Implementation

The rollout focused on performance alignment, transparency, and long-term broker engagement.

• CRM-Linked Incentive Configuration: Rewards mapped to validated leads, test drives, bookings, and vehicle deliveries.

• Tier-Based Loyalty Structure: Introduced Silver, Gold, and Platinum broker levels to reward consistency and growth.
