Unsophisticated Sales Quota-Setting Process Still the Norm

(January 25, 2013) When it comes to setting sales quotas, “last year plus” is the most prevalent quota-setting approach for the majority (84%) of organizations. This was one of the key findings of the “Quota Practices Study” by WorldatWork and Better Sales Comp Consultants (BSC).

“Setting sales quotas using a %+ formula doesn’t take into account global, national and regional market factors, salesforce performance, and other critical drivers,” said Jim Stoeckmann, a Certified Sales Compensation Professional (CSCP)(TM) and practice leader for WorldatWork. “One would expect the economy to be a key factor in sales quota setting but our study revealed that the current economy has no impact on quota adjustments.” Top drivers of quota adjustments are disruptive changes to market (55%), coverage model (54%), and errors in quota setting (43%).

“Companies rarely make quota adjustments during the performance cycle, unless there is a dramatic change in business conditions, like the financial crises in 2008 and 2009,” explained Ted Briggs, Principal, Better Sales Comp Consultants. “Even then, many companies maintained quotas and used other tools such as contests or spiffs to supplement sales compensation.”

About the Study
Data for the Quota Practices Study were collected between January-August 2012. More than 80 respondents participated, primarily sales operations and sales compensation managers from publicly traded companies (72%) and the private sector (25%).
