3 How Compensation Impacts Sales Organization Quality and Performance Salespeople and sales leaders alike know that compensation can be a strong motivator, but it usually comes at a high budgetary cost. This leads many to ask what the real impact of compensation might be on overall sales professionals satisfaction and performance. This study explores the answer to that question. Nearly 800 sales professionals participated in a sales organization performance study by completing an extensive 42-question survey. Participants were asked to share their opinions on their sales organization and personal details on their company s compensation. In exchange for their candor, it was agreed their names and organizations would remain anonymous. Twenty-two percent of survey participants were toplevel sales leaders, such as vice president of sales; 14 percent front-line sales managers, who manage salespeople; 17 peaent were hybrid sales managers, who sell directly to customers and manage other salespeople; and 47 percent were salespeople, who carry their own quota. Study Participants by Role 22 % Quota-Carrying 47 % Top-Level Sales Leaders Salespeople 14 % Front-Line Sales Leaders 17 % Hybrid Sales Leaders 3
4 How Compensation Impacts Sales Organization Quality and Performance The industries represented in the survey in order by number of participant responses were financial services, high technology, business services, manufacturing/ distribution, education, retail/hospitality, media/ entertainment, healthcare, and energy/utilities. Study participants were asked to describe their company s market position. Twenty-one percent worked for an industry leader with significant market share in their field, 32 percent for a well-known company within their market space, 29 percent for a lesser known company who has to compete against well-known rivals, and 18 percent for a relatively young company trying to establish market presence. What best describes your company? A company relatively trying young to establish or unknown 18 % An industry leader with 21 % significant market share in market presence our field 29 % A lesser known company who has to compete against well-known rivals 32 % A well-known company within our market space 4
5 How Compensation Impacts Sales Organization Quality and Performance Top-level sales leaders and sales managers were asked to categorize their company s compensation compared to other companies within their industry. Twenty-eight percent indicated their company s compensation was higher than market average, 60 percent were at market average, and 12 percent were below average market average. Each category of compensation was then analyzed from a number of different perspectives to determine the impact of compensation on sales organization performance. Sales leaders, how does your company s compensation compare to others within your industry? 12 % 28 % $ Average Market Compensation 60 % 5
6 Revenue Growth Tied to Compensation Seventy-three percent of sales leaders at companies that compensate above market level reported increased revenue from 2013 to 2014, compared to 60 percent of sales leaders that compensate below market level. Conversely, 40 percent of sales leaders at companies that compensate below market level reported flat or decreased revenue, compared to 27 percent of sales leaders that compensate above market level. Sales leaders, how did your company s annual revenue last year compare to annual revenue the year before? 60% 40% 73% 27% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Percentage of respondents Increased Revenues Flat or Declining Revenues 6
7 Compensation Associated with Sales Organization Excellence Forty percent of sales leaders at companies that compensate above average market average rated their sales organization as excellent compared to 16 percent at average compensation and 8 percent at below average market compensation companies. Conversely, 57 percent of sales leaders at companies that compensate below market rated their sales organization as average or below average compared to 34 percent at average compensation and only 16 percent at above average market compensation companies. Sales leaders, how would you rate your sales organization? Excellent Sales Organization Sales Organization Average Sales Organization Sales Organization 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% Percentage of responses Average Market Compensation 7
8 Perceived Quality of Sales Leadership Is Directly Related to Compensation Thirty-eight percent of salespeople who sell for above market compensation companies rated their sales leadership as excellent compared to only 2 percent of salespeople at below average market compensation companies. Conversely 22 percent of salespeople at below average market compensation companies rated their sales leadership as below average compared to only 4 percent of salespeople at above average market compensation companies. How would you rate your sales leadership? Excellent Average 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% Percentage of responses Average Market Compensation 8
9 Sales Organization Morale Is Directly Tied to Compensation Sixty-six percent of sales leaders at above average market compensation companies rated the morale across their sales organization as excellent compared to only 21 percent at below average market compensation companies. Conversely, 27 percent of sales leaders at below average market compensation companies rated morale as below average compared to only 4 percent at above average market compensation companies. Sales leader, how would you rate the morale across your sales organization? Higher than most organizations About the same as most organizations Lower than most organizations Average 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% Percentage of responses Average Market Compensation 9
10 Compensation Impacts Sales Organization Culture Thirty-seven percent of sales leaders at above average market compensation companies described their sales organization as a cohesive group of likeminded individuals compared to only 23 percent at below average market compensation companies. Conversely, 42 percent of sales leaders at below average market compensation companies described their sales organization as a loose collection of individuals compared to 23 percent of sales leaders at above average market compensation companies. Sales leaders, what best describes the composition of your sales organization? A cohesive group of like-minded people A team of seasoned professionals A loose collection of individuals 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45% Percentage of responses Average Market Compensation 10
11 Companies Where Compensation Was Not Capped Reported Higher Quota Attainment Rates Seventy-nine percent of sales managers reported achieving their annual quota last year at companies where compensation was not capped compared to 72 percent of sales leaders at companies where compensation was capped. Fifty-one percent of salespeople achieved their annual sales quota at companies where compensation was not capped compared to 48 percent at companies where compensation was capped. Is compensation capped at your company? Sales manager average quota attainment Sales managers reporting the percentage of their salespeople who made quota 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% Percentage of respondents Not Capped Capped 11
12 Companies Where Compensation Was Not Capped Reported Higher Quota Attainment Rates When the impact of capping compensation is analyzed for all study participants, the results suggest companies that achieved lower percentages of their revenue targets were more likely to cap compensation. Percentage of companies where compensation is capped 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% Revenue target attainment of companies that cap compensation <50% 50%-79% 80%-99% 100% Percentage of revenue target attained 12
13 Final Thoughts The study results substantiate that different sales force compensation strategies can greatly impact the performance and quality of sales organizations. Decisions about whether to cap compensation and whether to pay the sales force above market average, at market average, or below market average can have a substantial effect on revenue growth, company excellence, quality of sales leadership, morale, culture, and quota attainment.
