Talk With Us NowYour SPM investment is only as good as its return
Considering a sales performance management (SPM) solution or re-evaluating an existing one, and need help navigating your options? Looking to get more out of your current sales incentive program? We can help!
With U.S. companies collectively spending over $800 billion each year on sales force compensation (Source: HBR.org) and another $15 billion on sales training, it’s essential for a business to get the greatest possible return on their investment in sales. This is what we’ve done for over 1,100 customers since 2004. Through our tried and true methodology we apply industry best practices and cutting-edge technology to the design, automation, and optimization of SPM solutions.
The result is a stronger, more motivated sales force and a back office equipped to help drive results.

“Sunrun maximized the value of our incentive compensation system, and we were able to increase overall sales volume of solar panels and batteries. We’re now able to better serve both our employees and our customers. The efficiencies generated from this new ICM system have led to an increase in deployment of solar across the United States.”

“Working with OpenSymmetry, we experienced openness, flexibility, and total commitment to our success from UK team. I was surprised that instead of coming up with solutions to fix our problems only, they were always looking for ways to simplify, streamline, and improve our processes in the same time. Due to that kind of commitment, we went from having over 100 configuration rules to just 27.”

"OpenSymmetry helped us to evaluate our ICM program in a new light. Their technical and business expertise allowed us to understand the details of how changes would impact our system and processes. This enabled us to implement changes that would have the biggest impact on our business."

“OpenSymmetry’s culture was a really good fit with T-Mobile. They were very open-minded and spent as much time listening and collaborating with us as they did telling us what needed to be done. That type of humility with such solid knowledge and capability was a perfect match for us.”

"OpenSymmetry helped automate our data feeds and update our configuration of Xactly Incent, and these improvements helped us save approximately 7,200 hours per year by eliminating manual calculations, minimizing adjustments, and building trust in the data to reduce shadow accounting. When we got this working right, we reduced what took days to 3.5 hours. Time savings have been so key for us."

"Working with OpenSymmetry, we have implemented a formal, auditable, trackable sign-off process for the payouts. It's made a huge improvement. No more paper. Information is at associates’ fingertips 24/7. Managers can view sales results and compensation results for their teams, which leads to more effective and efficient management. The availability of information has made a huge difference."

"OpenSymmetry rose to the challenge of creating a roadmap for an efficient, centralized ICM system for us. We started off with over 100 incentive plans throughout the bank in different lines of business, meaning the incentive administration was decentralized. With the help of OpenSymmetry, we have improved efficiencies by streamlining our incentive compensation administration to a single system."
