SPOTLIGHT: Inspire Your Salesforce
Presented by
Gayatri Awagan
THE CHALLENGE THE PRESCRIPTION THE RESULT
● HubSpot’s first compensation plan was oriented toward “hunting” new customers
● The first plan paid salespeople a base salary and $2 up front for every $1 of monthly recurring revenue
● To protect the company if customers defected, they implemented a four-month clawback on commissions
● This plan was simple, clean, and hunting oriented
● It worked well to accelerate the pace of new customer acquisition
● In under six months their base shot up to 1,000 customers, and revenue hit $3 million.
Analyse Product market fit
● Unsustainable churn Rate
Solution : Fast feedback cycle,
proper diagnosis of the issue and
quick disciplined iteration are
necessary at this stage
Customer Retention
● Customer churn rate by Salesperson
Customer retention was predicted
based on type of customer
salesperson choose to target and
expectation set
Compensation Plan
● Align retention with commission
Ranking sales team based on retention
rate and then segment the team in
quartile. Compensation is based on
monthly recurring revenue generated.
1st quartile : Doubling the compensation
2nd quartile : Increase by 50% compensation
3rd quartile : Same compensation
4th quartile : Half the compensation
Recurring Revenue
Salespeople would earn $2 of $1
of monthly recurring revenue
Commission Pattern
50% - on1st month’s payment.
25% - on next 6 month and 12
month’s payment each.
Prepaid Plans
If customer will pay in advance -
the entire commission will earn
immediately
Mission Accomplished
-Customer churn was checked.
-Retention rate improved &
customers were profitable.
-Salespeople felt in control their
destiny
Plan Implementation
Before implementing - avg
prepayment for 2.5 months
After plan - avg jumped to 7 months

We operate with courtesy, inclusion and professionalism
when dealing with colleagues and customers.
Presentations are communication tools that can
be used as demonstrations, lectures, speeches,
reports, and more. It is mostly presented before
an audience.
.
ALIGNMENT
if the majority of your company’s revenue
is generated by salespeople, properly
aligning their compensation plan will have
greater impact than anything else will.
IMMEDIACY
When salespeople succeed, they should
see it reflected in their paychecks
immediately.
SIMPLICITY
Keep the plan simple. It should be
extraordinarily clear which outcomes you
are rewarding.
