SOLVING YOUR SALES COMPENSATION MYSTERIES (THE CASE OF THE MISSING DIAMOND)

A one-day workshop in partnership with SalesGlobe, presented by sales effectiveness thought leader Mark Donnolo, Managing Partner of SalesGlobe, accompanied by Michelle Seger, the firm’s Global Practice Lead. Mark and Michelle will deliver SalesGlobe’s practical approach to incentive compensation and best practices in a ‘deep-dive’ interactive workshop.

Using the powers of reasoning and more than 25 years of experience, Mark and Michelle will address your most challenging sales compensation enigmas in this one-day workshop. Beginning with the foundation for all effective sales incentive plans – roles and alignment to C-level goals – Mark and Michelle will also deep-dive into how to ensure your highest performers are your highest paid people; how to master sales compensation analytics; and five quota-setting methodologies critical for setting effective goals.

This highly interactive class will include real-life incentive compensation situations from attendees and case examples from Global 2000 companies. Mark and Michelle will also provide a diagnostic of company compensation plans, so if class participants have analytics or any summary data on one of their sales teams to share with us ahead of the class, please submit them after you have registered. For participants who send in an incentive plan from their company, Mark and Michelle will perform a high-level diagnostic (we will blind the company name) and discuss elements of these different plans during the course – weaving it into the course materials throughout the day.

The class will feature numerous hands-on exercises as well as offering participants the ability to work with – and learn from – colleagues, breaking people into small teams.

After registering, please submit your biggest challenge with sales compensation or quotas. Mark and Michelle will select several challenges from the delegates and help to solve them (no proprietary information will be shared with the group). Please submit to mark.donnolo@salesglobe.com. If you email any completed summary analytics of your plans (graphs, charts etc), we will interpret them as part of the sales compensation investigation forensics.

In addition to your session and take-away materials, all participants will receive a signed copy of Mark Donnolo’s book What Your CEO Needs to Know About Sales Compensation.
