Incentive Compensation

Variable pay incentive compensation can be a powerful tool for driving business success. Accurately measuring and rewarding performance is a key to driving the desired behavior from the sales force. A well-structured compensation plan communicates corporate objectives to the sales force, while a poorly structured compensation program can actually impel salespeople to work against corporate goals.

For many pharma companies, variable pay package is a another way to keep the base compensation cost under control as well as have a motivating factor to drive their sales team towards fulfilling corporate objectives. The incentive compensation program also provides corporates' the metrics needed to monitor the performance of its sales force- including revenue and quota attainment. The system can also prove helpful in providing the information needed to measure the effectiveness of its compensation plans against their strategic objectives.

In order to retain the best performers and face the market competition with confidence, pharma companies are reassessing their business strategies including variable pay packages. This increased pressure has also made many companies realize inadequacy of their current compensation management systems in providing the expected results.
