The Challenge: Complex Incentives, Event Bonus and Unpredictable Adjustments

‍

Sales commission management at Super Claims involved an external approver which was a dynamic component of their sales process. It was difficult to predict the number of adjustments for individual sales reps. This led to a lot of to-and-fro communication between the RevOps team and sales reps which was time consuming for both the teams. All of this was tracked using spreadsheets which made it even more difficult and ran the risk of errors.

‍

1. Paying acquisition bonuses before claim verification: Super Claims Assist pays its sales reps a fixed amount for each new client claim file sent to partner law firms. However, these law firms take 1-3 months to verify if the sale was a valid claim or not.
   
   
2. Clawing back bonuses for unsuccessful claims: If a claim is ultimately rejected by the law firm after the initial payout, Super Claims Assist needed a way to credit/adjust or clawback that bonus amount from the rep's future earnings.
   
   
3. Capping clawback amounts: To ensure reps could still earn commission, Super Claims Assist required the ability to cap the clawback amount at 50% of the rep's current monthly commission.
   
   
4. Lack of pipeline visibility: Without a centralized system, reps lacked visibility into their expected earnings based on the claims pipeline and potential clawbacks.
   
   
5. Event-based Bonus: The company also provides bonuses to employees for specific events such as getting a Google review from customers. Since this was event based, they had to manually track and remember to payout these bonuses on time.

‍

The existing spreadsheet-based processes made accurately tracking and calculating these unique bonus, clawback and capping rules extremely challenging and error-prone.
