Description

Standard commission and bonus-comp designs are not always effective at supporting the complex market strategies that sales teams are asked to drive. In this session, you’ll hear about a clever approach used by the Dutch information services company Wolters Kluwer, which integrated the design of immediate, short-term bonuses (or SPIFFs) with carefully crafted MBO (management by objective) goals to increase sales performance. You’ll get tips and tricks for focusing your sales team along with creative ideas for SPIFF/MBO applications.

Learning Objectives
• Understand the basic compensation design principles behind SPIFFs and MBOs.
• Apply SPIFF and MBOs in a real-world situation.
• Analyze the designs used in this case study and other strategic applications for SPIFF/MBO designs.
