Available on-demand

For many wholesale distribution companies, sales compensation is an essential piece of their overall commercial performance. The long-term trends driving change in customer acquisition behavior that were accelerated during the pandemic along with levels of inflation unseen for decades have led many distributors to reexamine the effectiveness of their current programs.

This session focused on how sales compensation programs can be developed that support evolutions in selling roles without diminished risk or opportunity for program participants. Attendees walked away with actionable approaches to mitigate compensation related obstacles along with implementation best practices.
