Sales compensation is one of the most important factors to move the needle on revenue, engagement, and growth. Some people know that compensation is a sine qua non for effective sales team motivation. But not all compensation strategies are created equal. In fact, many of them are a total waste. If you want more revenue and stronger growth, you need to learn how to craft a top-notch compensation strategy.
One of the greatest mistakes a company can make in the area of sales compensation is to have no strategy at all. But the biggest challenge companies face is figuring out how to create an effective sales compensation strategy in a way that will motivate their sales team.
Sales compensation is one of the most important aspects of a sales team’s success. However, sales compensation strategies can vary wildly from company to company. This blog will look at what factors should be considered when developing a sales compensation strategy.
About Nabeil
Nabeil Alazzam is CEO and founder of Forma.ai, a Toronto-based company striving to solve the massively under-appreciated pain point of sales-based compensation.

Nabeil identified that automation could solve this problem, and built a system (aka Forma.ai) that is able to take the many unique compensation problems that sales organizations face and create unified solutions that save time, money, and mental health for their customers.
In this episode, Nabeil shares how Forma.ai is streamlining the process for over $1.5 billion in commissions per year. He also shares how we can craft data-driven plans that drive growth.
