We are hugely delighted to announce that David Cichelli will be leading this year’s event. Few serious students of sales compensation can have escaped the influence of David Cichelli, whose best-selling book, Compensating the Sales Force, remains a core handbook for those working in sales rewards. Based in Arizona, David’s experience, knowledge and highly-practical insights into sales compensation shine through in his work. A rare richness comes from his long perspective, experience and 25 years of extensive survey-based research.

He will bring his wisdom to help drive delegates’ sales growth objectives with powerful sales compensation programmes. David has instructed thousands of sales compensation stakeholders to create best-in-class pay programmes for sales talent. He is, without doubt, the leading authority on using sales compensation to reward seller success. David is widely recognised by world-class sales teams, national professional associations and trade publications for his work in linking sales compensation to management’s objectives. He’s a frequent speaker on sales compensation topics and the author of WorldatWork’s sales compensation classes.

The conference – designed for sales compensation professionals

Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind conference offered to the UK and EU sales compensation community.

Hear new insights into leading-edge practices for this mission-critical pay programme from the world’s leading expert in sales compensation solutions.

If you are in sales leadership, sales operations, HR or finance, this is the event for you. Network with other leading practitioners, gain insight from our subject matter expert, David Cichelli. Learn the latest innovations in sales compensation automation solutions from our valued partners.

Your sales compensation plan needs your attention. Incentive plans for sales teams can quickly become dated, misaligned and ineffective. Delegates will gain these insights:

:: Why sales compensation works.
:: Why sales compensation must change.
:: Why you need a process to guide your sales team to the next level of effectiveness.
:: Why you must lead the process to ensure programme success.

You may already have a successful compensation programme. However, you need to keep it that way. Understand why sales compensation plans evolve. Revenue leadership must be diligent to revise pay plans to align with changing business strategies.

Bring courage to change management. Use leadership change methods to encourage sales personnel to embrace small and sometimes large changes to the pay programme. Recognise that great job design is the heart of sales effectiveness. Sales compensation supports the sales job charter. Get the job right, and the pay plan is easy to configure. Your goal: Learn from others, identify action steps and apply new solutions to reward your sellers. Bring your questions. Join us and attend this exceptional one-day conference!

8.30: REGISTRATION & BREAKFAST

9.30: THE FIVE TRUTHS ABOUT SALES COMPENSATION

David Cichelli, Alexander Group

Every year, 90% of all companies change their sales compensation programme. Why? Sales departments use numerous programmes and sales enablement solutions to drive revenue growth. Sales compensation is one of the primary drivers of sales success. Yet, why does it change so often?

Here are the five truths about sales compensation programmes.

  • Are powerful and they work
  • Change often and should
  • Use the same principles regardless of industry
  • Need robust internal process for success
  • Provide a compelling leadership platform

10.20: HEADLINE SPONSOR

10.55: TEA, DEMOS & EXHIBITION

11.25: SALES COMPENSATION GRAVITY – HOW REVENUE GROWTH DRIVES SALES COMPENSATION

David Cichelli, Alexander Group

What's the best sales compensation programme? It depends on the revenue growth of the company. High-growth companies use one set of sales comp solutions, while slower growth companies use different pay programmes. Learn how the four phases of revenue growth – 1. Start-up, 2. Scaling, 3. Re-evaluation and 4. Optimisation – influence features of sales comp plans. Understand why special sales programmes, such as solution selling, new product focus and insight-led selling, need new sales compensation solutions.

12.15: PANEL #1

12.45: LUNCH, DEMOS & EXHIBITION

1.50: SALES COMPENSATION FORMULA MYSTERIES SOLVED

David Cichelli, Alexander Group

  • Where do sales compensation formulas come from? Sometimes, it seems like a mystery. Reading a sales compensation plan for the first time evokes questions such as:
  • How was that payout rate determined?
  • How does that extra bonus work?
  • What’s the math behind these numbers?

Attend this session to learn how to build effective sales compensation formulas, avoid unintentional payouts and assess proposed incentive formula designs.

2.40: GOLD SPONSOR

3.10: COFFEE, DEMOS & EXHIBITION

3.40: PANEL #2

4.10: EFFECTIVE SALES COMPENSATION – ADOPT BEST-PRACTICE BUILDING CODES

David Cichelli, Alexander Group

Less than effective sales compensation programmes suffer from poor design decisions. Powerful and aligned sales compensation plans subscribe to a set of company-defined building codes – that is, well-documented sales compensation design principles. Learn how HR-sponsored ‘fixed designs’ and standardised jobs can imperil a sales organisation. Use these best-of-breed principles to build effective sales compensation plans that are simple, easy to understand and reward the right results. Edit the suggested ‘Guide to Sales Compensation Design’ for application at your company!

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR E-REWARD.CO.UK EVENTS

THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLY TO THE DELIVERY OF EVENTS BY E-REWARD.CO.UK LTD (INCLUDING ANNUAL CONFERENCE; SALES COMPENSATION SYMPOSIUM). OUR PRIVACY POLICY IS ALSO OUTLINED BELOW.

Some Events – for example our Sales Compensation Symposium 2020 – are offered to attendees at no cost or at heavily discounted rates because they are sponsored by outside parties. As you can imagine, hosting a major conference in a lavish central London venue with lots of lovely food and drink and completely free attendance costs a huge amount of money. This is where our sponsors come in. They have generously funded the speaker fees and speakers travel costs, as well as the cost of the entire conference so that we can offer free places for 100+ delegates.

In these situations, the outside sponsor will receive a list of those who registered to attend the Event (name, job title, organisation, email and phone number). You may therefore receive periodic emails from these reputable companies. By submitting your registration to attend the Event you agree to be bound by these terms to the exclusion of all other terms. If you do not agree to be bound by these terms E-reward.co.uk Ltd will be unable to accept your registration.


Please read these terms and conditions carefully as they contain important information.

These terms and conditions apply between the person, firm, company or other entity specified on your booking form and E-reward.co.uk Ltd (company number: 4281768). Registered in England and Wales.

Name changes are accepted at any time before the event.

We need to impose these cancellation charges as, at such a late stage, we are unable to obtain any refund for your delegate and catering/drinks reception fee from the venue.

Paying delegates (i.e. non-complimentary tickets)

You will pay E-reward.co.uk Ltd any fees specified in your booking form for the Event. Payment to E-reward.co.uk Ltd in GBP British Pounds is by BACS, wire transfer, cheque or credit card.

Cancellations

Paying conference delegates who advise E-reward.co.uk of their cancellation in writing via email (to paul@e-reward.co.uk) before 12 noon, Monday 11th May 2020 will have their fees refunded – less an administration charge of 25% of the course fees. No refund will be made for cancellations received after that date. Failure to attend the conference will be subject to the same terms.

Name changes

Substitutions with employees from your organisation are welcome at any time at no extra charge. You must email any substitutions (to paul@e-reward.co.uk) prior to the date of the Event.
