Why did +150 Ops Leaders opt for a commission tool?

1. Introduction 

Among the many challenges facing businesses, finding ways to improve the performance of their sales reps is one of the most important. According to a study by The Bridge Group, 65% of B2B companies say that the productivity of their sales reps is their number 1 challenge. 

Among the many levers available, the commission stands out as one of the most effective tools for stimulating the motivation and commitment of sales reps. However, simply offering commission is not enough to guarantee success. Today, it is essential to move on from Excel or Google Sheet to a commissioning tool to exploit their full potential!

To understand this, the Qobra teams went to meet numerous Operations Departments, Sales Ops and Revenue Ops, experts involved in the design and management of commissions within prestigious companies such as CoachHub, SeLoger, Agicap, Spendesk, Payfit, Make, Pennylane, Welcome to the Jungle, and many others. Their experience and feedback gives us valuable insight into the positive impact of switching from Excel or Google Sheet to a commissioning tool for sales reps.
