Earnings

Understanding Earnings (and why they differ from Payouts)

Incentives

Designing an effective commission plan is one of the most important steps in driving sales performance. Incentives not only motivate your sales team but also align their activities with company goals.

Incentive Types

Deal Participation is one of the simplest and most widely used commission models. It ensures that reps earn a percentage of each deal they close, directly tying effort to earnings. This guide walks you through every step of setting up a Deal Participation incentive in the platform.

Creating a Deal Participation Incentive

On Target Commission (OTC) is a structured incentive model where sales reps earn commission based on achieving specific sales targets within a defined period. It is closely tied to a rep’s variable salary.

Creating an On Target Commission Incentive

The Deal Bonus incentive allows you to reward your sales team with additional flat earnings on top of their standard commissions. Bonuses are typically tied to performance metrics, strategic company goals, or exceptional achievements.

Targets

By setting clear targets, you can align your sales team with company goals, drive predictable performance, and ensure fair payout calculations.

Creating a Target

Quota assignments aren’t static — they often need to change due to territory shifts, rep performance, or organizational priorities.

Users & Teams

Add and manage users

The Teams tab allows you to structure your organization into teams and hierarchies. This helps align quotas, commission rules, and reporting with your company’s structure.
