Commissions Manager via the AppExchange with just a few clicks.”
Callidus Commissions Manager is a self-service solution. It lets companies
quickly create and deploy sales commission plans that include sales quotas
and rates, and on-target-earnings. This allows companies to pay commissions
based on transactions or on period-to-date attainments. The solution allows
sales representatives to review opportunities that have closed, initiate
claims for credit and payment, and track the status and amounts of paid and
pending commissions. Sales representatives can also preview projected
commissions based on their pipeline.
“Customers are looking to incorporate sales performance into the daily
routines of their sales force to drive sales effectiveness. Commissions
Manager is designed just for that,” said Lorna Heynike, senior vice
president of marketing at Callidus Software. “This application works as an
easy on-ramp to sales performance management. It helps boost sales
productivity by providing quick access to commission projections, claims and
disputes, even via mobile devices. This saves precious sales time and
ensures sales reps gain transparency and confidence in the system.”
Commissions Manager empowers sales managers by putting relevant, up-to-date
commissions status at their fingertips. It provides intuitive and
comprehensive roles-based dashboards that give them the most relevant
information such as their top performers, and projected compensation. Sales
representatives can use their dashboards to track metrics such as their
year-to-date attainment, payouts over time and the status of their requests.
In addition, the solution can be used with Callidus Plan Communicator,
available on the AppExchange. Plan Communicator expedites the sales plan
communications and approval process with the ability to effectively and
accurately communicate sales plans and contract plans to appropriate field
organizations.
