Compensation and incentive pay plays a big role in the success of a sales organization. Incentives drive sales behaviors, but when reps get paid incorrectly, it can lead to some big problems, specifically rep turnover.

And many continue to use spreadsheets to manage their compensation, 80 percent of which have errors.
