The Challenge

As the sales organization scaled, incentive management became increasingly complex and inefficient.

Manual Incentive Tracking and Delayed Payouts
Sales KPIs were tracked manually, leading to delays in incentive calculations and payouts—reducing trust and motivation among medical representatives.

Lack of Real-Time Performance Visibility
Reps had limited visibility into their targets, achievements, and earnings, making it difficult to stay motivated or course-correct during sales cycles.

Fragmented Incentive Structures Across Regions
Disparate incentive plans across zones created confusion, inconsistencies, and operational inefficiencies for both reps and managers.

High Attrition in Frontline Sales Teams
Delayed recognition and lack of transparency contributed to disengagement and rising attrition among medical representatives.

The Solution

The company implemented Compass to centralize and modernize sales incentive and performance management across regions.

Automated Incentive & Commission Tracking
Compass integrated seamlessly with the company’s CRM to calculate incentives automatically based on real-time sales data—eliminating manual errors and delays.

Gamified Leaderboards for Sales Motivation
Leaderboards and milestone badges introduced healthy competition among medical representatives, increasing daily engagement and performance focus.

Personalized Performance Dashboards
Sales managers accessed real-time dashboards to monitor individual and regional performance, enabling timely coaching and instant spot rewards.

Flexible Incentive Structure Configuration
Compass enabled easy customization of incentive plans across regions—addressing a key limitation of competing platforms.
