Ensure a Successful Sales Plan

Effective sales planning allows for businesses to integrate quota planning, territory planning, sales incentivisation, sales coverage and segmentation of accounts and target markets. This information aids corporate finance forecasts, projections of company sales, and the development of management strategy. Manageable targets and expectations can be set accurately by sales managers, maximising energy, target responsibility and efficiency within your workforce. Crucial components that make up a successful sales plan comprise:

  • Run through different scenarios of sales based on promotions, regulations, trends, resource allocation and differing business capacities.
  • Forecast sales to aid preparation and strategy making cycles.
  • Balance manageability and expectations of growth in target sales for the sales department.
  • Provide real-time performance data of sales leaders to manage incentive plans and drive sales.
  • Merge quota planning, territory planning, sales coverage and segmentation of accounts into one area.
  • Unify sales expectations with business targets, objectives, and KPI’s.
  • Calculate the resulting sales commissions and incentivisation based on targets for a given sales person.

The above sales planning processes using traditional spreadsheet software face numerous software limitations. Moving to a cloud-based planning platform ensures sales plans consistently hit revenue targets.
