MOST FAIR INSIDE SALES COMPENSATION PLAN IN CHICAGO!
Good news! We have built a sophisticated proprietary software system that automatically tracks engagement between you, other Alpine Inside Sales reps and prospects at touch-points along the sales path, and gives you credit for all your contributions even if you're not the rep who closed the sale. For example, if you speak with a prospect on the phone for 20 minutes, and then that prospect calls back later and places the order with a different rep, both you and the other rep will automatically receive a portion of the sales credit, based on individual contribution. The system cleverly tracks all the sales reps who may have been involved with a sale, including:
who was first person to speak with prospect
who sent a quote
phone talk time
who closed the sale
Each player in the sale gets a "slice of the action" proportional to their impact on the final sale. If you're the only rep to have contact with the customer, then you of course get full credit for the sale. This super-fair system is transparently reported and available to you at all times on all orders, and tracked down to the product detail. Performance pay based on how much you sell, calculated in this manner of attribution, is tabulated and paid out weekly and monthly. This means you'll never have to worry about losing out if you've helped make a sale. You'll always get performance pay for any and all contributions you make towards helping close a sale!
In addition to performance pay based on how much you sell, you're also given performance pay based on how happy you're making prospects and customers. This pay combo gives you recognition and compensation for both your hard skills and soft skills.
