What is Sales Performance Management?
Sales Performance Management (SPM) is a practice that provides a critical framework for sales leaders, professionals, and incentive management teams to manage and enhance their sales performance. In short, it’s a combination of processes and tools for planning, assessing, and continuously improving sales strategies across an organization. It has a specialized focus on guiding, incentivizing, and managing sales teams to help them achieve company goals and objectives. SPM processes range from strategy development, incentive plan design, territory and quota management, incentive payouts, and performance metrics tracking to gain actionable insights.
What is Incentive Compensation Management (ICM)? How does it fit into SPM?
Incentive Compensation Management (ICM) falls under the scope of SPM, with the ultimate goal being to achieve a collective solution for creating, delivering, and managing sales performance incentives. ICM is a powerful instrument to inspire your sales team to achieve their full potential. Monetary incentives, benefits, or commissions for achieving or surpassing sales objectives increase sales performance, team loyalty, and the business’ profitability. A well planned and executed incentive program, therefore, underpins any well-rounded Sales Performance Management strategy and serves as a crucial part of the overall SPM effort.

BHG services can help:
By Maximizing Program Effectiveness
Sales is the core machinery for driving a company’s revenue. Therefore, incentives for your sales team is the fuel driving the machine. To keep this machine running at peak performance, you must have a robust and operational incentives program framework. BHG can help you develop, design, implement, and administer an incentive program that keeps your revenue generating machine, AKA sales team, performing at their highest potential.
By Achieving Operational Efficiency
Streamlining operations decreases bottom line costs and increases your profit margin. BHG can help you standardize and automate manual and tedious compensation processes, minimizing the administrative burden on team members. This translates to more time for managers and administrators to focus on value-added tasks such as assessing and improving compensation plan effectiveness and enhancing team performance. By eliminating time consuming ‘shadow accounting’ tasks, sellers can dedicate more time to selling, which leads to higher performance.
By Cultivating a Positive Workplace
One of the things that keeps many sales leaders up at night is hiring, and keeping, top sales talent. To retain a high performing sales force, it is important to create a culture of transparency and trust. Our Sales Performance Management Solutions focus on eliminating cumbersome and error prone processes that lead to inaccurate and untimely incentive payouts which result in a loss of trust. In addition, it reduces the payday stress and burden on compensation administrators. With our services, you can create a positive and engaging employee experience for your entire team, including your top sales performers.
By Reducing Errors and Increasing Accuracy
Not having a strategically planned or structured approach to managing your sales performance and compensation processes can lead to risk. Flying blind on predicting the effectiveness of incentive programs and hoping they align to the corporate strategy often results in chaotic results. Additionally, error prone manual tasks result in incorrect forecasting, attainment calculations, and incentive payouts. These aspects cumulatively increase financial risk across the organization. BHG offers services and solutions that reduce errors, increase accuracy and timeliness of payouts, and provide actionable insights to mitigate these risks.
