Introduction

It’s true! Most sales leaders struggle to determine the best sales comp software for their reps. After all, no single best solution applies to all organizations, and more often than not, this quest for finding the right balance boils down to the good old “trial and error”.

The financial services industry is a dynamic and fast-paced sector undergoing a significant transformation with the advent of fintech, digital transformation, and automation. Sales performance management (SPM) has emerged as a critical aspect of ensuring growth and success in this era of constant change. 

Sales comp plans for Financial Services are as diverse as they can get! It can be a real challenge to find a tailor-made solution that perfectly fits the organization’s goals of designing an IC plan and ensuring your reps are paid relatively. Even for the best in the business!
