“Xactly Incent is the perfect complementary solution for customers like Markinekt who are looking to extend their Salesforce investment and motivate their sales professionals,” said Karen Steele, Xactly vice president of marketing. “There are powerful, natural synergies between Salesforce and Xactly Incent. We’re seeing companies of all sizes moving aggressively to deploy these systems together, with the on-demand sales compensation management system the central repository for all sales performance-related data.”
Xactly Incent provides instant integration to Salesforce and delivers the power of an enterprise sales compensation application in an on-demand model at a fraction of the cost. Xactly Incent’s patent-pending Incentive Estimator provides Salesforce customers with the ability to run “what-if” scenarios based on Salesforce opportunities or estimated sales to calculate potential commission and bonus estimates and payments before, during and after a sale. From Xactly Incent, customers can quickly access the Salesforce opportunities of interest by using filters on information such as date and probability of closure.
“Sales compensation management is a key part of our business because it’s what drives sales, which directly affects profitability,” said Christopher McCarthy, managing partner, Markinekt Professional Resources. “The integration with Salesforce lets us tie together all the management numbers we need to see — with Xactly Incent as the central repository for sales-related data, linked back to each salesperson.”
“Xactly Incent’s real-time, web-based visibility is also a real motivator for our sales people,” continued McCarthy. “They know where they stand at any point in a quarter and what their commissions will be rather than at quarter end when it’s too late to affect change. Especially motivating is Xactly Incent’s ability to show our sales people what their total pay-out is going to be if they close a particular deal. They love that.”
Implementing Xactly Incent at Markinekt was handled by Astadia Consulting, LLC (www.astadia.com), one of Xactly Corporation’s strategic sales compensation implementation partners and a firm that also specializes in Salesforce implementations. “We were pleased to work with Xactly to turn Markinekt’s sales compensation vision into reality,” said J. Ernest Riddle, Astadia CEO. “Based on our extensive experience in CRM and incentive compensation implementations, we were able to get Markinekt up and running in just a few weeks and realize a quick ROI.”
Xactly is the first and only company completely focused on delivering a 100% on-demand sales compensation management solution. It is also the first and only company to deliver a true multi-tenant solution in a SAS 70 Type II certified environment. This single-minded approach enables Xactly to minimize hardware and software infrastructure costs — savings that are then passed on to customers — and accelerate the process by which it delivers new features and functionality.
