Measurement legacy

Measurement is used for gauging the progress of the performance of your sales force. It can be directly tied into their variable earnings.

What is Measurement?

As the name tells you, a measurement helps you measure the performance or the progress of any events surrounding your business. With a measurement, technically, you can measure anything and everything. For example, you can measure the amount of the total sales of your sales reps, or you can measure the number of transactions that your sales reps generated for a given period. And these metrics can be factored into the sales commission calculation.

The outcome drawn from a measurement is called, Credit. In some organizations, it may be referred to as Attainments, Points, or Gains. Because inLOGIC is so flexible in labeling the jargon, we kept it neutral so that everyone can utilize it according to their needs.

When do you need Measurement when creating a Plan?

If your sales compensation plan is designed to remit commission payment for individual’s overall performance for a given period of time, you will need to create a plan that is based on Measurements. Whereas a transaction-based plan takes each transaction into account when running a commission calculation during the life of your compensation plan, a measurement-based plan will yield the payout result at the end of every compensation period after carefully measuring the performance at individual, group, or territorial level. You can set the Quota using Lookup and compare the performance against the quota to determine whether the sales rep is eligible for commissions or not.
