Is your compensation plan driving the results your business needs?
Bud Dunn of VXP joins me on the podcast to discuss how beer wholesalers can connect sales incentives to gross profit growth, align managers and frontline reps, and build plans that motivate performance.
We explore base versus variable pay, individual and team goals, and why daily performance updates help reps turn information into action.
Key Takeaways
- Reward the results that matter. Tie incentives to your business priorities.
- Align managers and sales reps. Build plans that keep leadership and frontline teams working toward shared outcomes.
- Make variable pay meaningful and achievable. Incentives need to be large enough to get attention.
- Match accountability to the goal. Use individual targets for sales performance and consider team goals for shared challenges such as finished product loss.
- Give reps a daily scoreboard. Timely updates on results, goals, and earning opportunities help reps prioritize their work and act before the month is over.
