Following the overwhelming response to our sold-out 2016 event, E-reward is delighted to announce our second Showcase conference devoted to sales incentive compensation. Once again, it will be presented by sales effectiveness thought leader Mark Donnolo, Managing Partner of SalesGlobe. This year Mark will be accompanied by Michelle Seger, the firm’s Global Practice Lead. For the 2017 conference, we've added new content that will include the very relevant topic of global harmonisation. Throughout the event we will discuss how companies can achieve the right balance of global consistency that responds to local needs and practices within the sales incentive plan designs.

Based in Atlanta, USA, Mark has worked as a leading sales effectiveness con­sultant for more than 25 years, helping many Global 2000 com­panies, including Accenture, Bank of America, IBM, Johnson & Johnson, LexisNexis, Office Depot, Orange, Salesforce.com, Sprint, UPS, and Verizon. Michelle brings the change management viewpoint to the table having worked with global companies for more than 20 years and with her own experience of expanding a retail franchise concept from Italy into the USA. Together Mark and Michelle will facilitate the day, provide a series of insightful workshops and introduce reward practitioners to the sponsor and exhibitor sessions which will be dispersed throughout the day. The day will be content filled, rewarding and, above all, fun.

The conference will also have a special panel discussion on global harmonisation that will delve into the challenges and opportunities companies face in an increasingly complex multi-cultural environment. This panel will include HR and sales compensation professionals and thought leaders, offering a lively and enlightening discussion for all.

10.20 SPONSOR PRESENTATION: OPENSYMMETRY

THE SECRET OF SHIFTING SALES CULTURE TO DRIVE MAXIMUM ROI

Culture is the defining core of every business, but aligning culture from executive vision to the actual engagement of the customer through the sales team is an ever moving target. The formula used for the emphasis and de-emphasis of different sales culture values will ultimately shift the change to drive behaviour that reflects the overall corporate strategy. This is done through meticulous incentive compensation plan design. Join Jon Clark as he walks through client case studies to reveal how organisations have taken a strategic approach to drive sales through employee engagement, incentive plans, and performance metrics, in order to build the right sales culture and maximize ROI.

CASE STUDY: TRANSFORMING YOUR SALES FORCE: HOW TO USE YOUR COMPENSATION SOLUTION TO GAIN THE TRUST OF YOUR END USERS

Beginning in 2013, beqom client Pages Jaunes (the French Yellow Pages) launched a major transformation of its sales organisation. This included moving to an objectives-based compensation plan, with some complex calculations, that could be changed quickly as needed to adapt to the market. For such a transformation to be successful, especially when it impacts compensation, the company knew it would need the buy-in and confidence of end users. Pages Jaunes searched for and implemented a solution that gives users tools to monitor and follow their compensation, is fully transparent, and makes users confident on the solution and the calculation of their compensation, thus contributing to the success of the transformation plan. This session will explore the business challenge faced, the solution implemented, and lessons learned.

2.10 CONNECTED PLANNING FOR SALES: DELIVER ON-TIME SALES PLANS WHILE INCREASING COMPENSATION, QUOTA, AND FORECAST ACCURACY

Whilst sales leaders focus on motivating teams with achievable plans and accurate sales compensation payments, it’s impossible to accurately optimise sales performance and drive the right behaviours when juggling spreadsheets, legacy systems, and point solutions.

Join Anaplan as we talk about how modern businesses can move to a connected planning model that aligns your sales strategy with corporate objectives, get sales plans out on time, sharpens sales forecasting, and ensures accurate incentive compensation crediting and calculation. We will be showing how you can quickly develop ‘what if’ scenarios and analyse sales performance outcomes and business impact in real-time to directly influence profitability and drive explosive growth for your organisation. Hear how businesses are already achieving success with this model and leave the session with guidance on how to get started in your own business.
