The Blitz Commission Expert Assessment gives your business the opportunity to determine if your current sales team and your sales commission plan are working efficiently. Also, it provides shortcut solutions for a range of specific needs.

According to Bain, sales processes in large companies have become more complex and less efficient, resulting in added pressure on profit margins. The study indicates that when B2B companies increase the complexity of their sales models, they typically experience a 40-60% turnover of salespeople.

If you find yourself at the end of another sales quarter and sales have not been growing as expected or reaching business goals, you might be asking yourself a few questions. After you rule out any external factors that could have been contributing to the slow growth, the next assumption is the cause must be coming from within your company. Is it your sales team? Is it your compensation plan? - Why is tracking commissions performance so complicated?
