Variable pay & sales compensation

Create incentives people understand and the business can execute.

We connect roles, measures, targets and payout mechanics to the outcomes the business needs—then test the plan before it goes live.

Where we help

A focused scope around the decision you need to make.

Sales and incentive plan design

Effective incentive plans connect each role to measures it can influence, targets that reflect opportunity and payout mechanics employees can understand. We help Canadian organizations review sales compensation and other variable-pay programs from design through governance.

Measures, quotas and payout curves

A plan review can test quota and target setting, thresholds, accelerators, caps, crediting rules and cost under different performance scenarios. We also look for unintended incentives, data dependencies and manual work that create disputes or weaken control.

Cost and scenario modelling

Use this service when payouts are hard to explain, plan costs are volatile, or commercial priorities have changed. You can also start with the Commission Audit tool to organize a payment question.

Plan documentation and governance

Recommendations can include clearer plan documents, calculation controls and ownership for ongoing changes. That helps sales, finance and HR teams administer the plan with fewer avoidable disputes.
