| Markets have become increasingly competitive, making product and service differentiation difficult. Driving the performance of your sales organization (direct sales force, reseller channels, front-line employees, contact center) is crucial for achieving key performance objectives. Incentive programs have become essential tools for achieving these objectives. The ability to quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively execute sales campaigns is critical to improving results. IncentOne delivers its integrated solution with the speed and flexibility needed to drive your sales organization.
IncentOne’s solutions solve the most common incentive program challenges:
- Sourcing of rewards for diverse audiences and business objectives
Finding rewards that appeal to diverse audiences can be time consuming and difficult. Without a thorough understanding of the wants and preferences of the audience, reward sourcing for the program can be a difficult task.
- Lack of an integrated solution to support all programs
While incentive programs are ultimately about driving sales goals, without a single solution to manage all programs it is virtually impossible to analyze the effectiveness of incentive spending. Reporting, program improvement and trend analysis become difficult without a single solution to manage all program activity.
- Need to design new sales campaigns for each sales initiative
Without a single solution that can be applied to various circumstances, new programs must be crafted to support each new sales contest. This can be time-consuming and requires significant resources.
- Manual processes for tracking sales data
Many organizations require manual tracking of sales data to manage their incentive programs. This causes not only a drain on scarce resources, but an inability to spend the appropriate time needed on program analysis rather than administrative procedures.
- Inability to integrate with sales performance systems
It is common that sales performance systems are not integrated with incentive programs. This creates a series of challenges, ranging from a time lag between performance and incentive issuance to basic incentive program administration.
- Lack of integrated tracking and audit trails on all program activity
The lack of a single “hub” for all incentive program activity requires manual tracking, auditing and reporting procedures, which can create significant compliance issues. In many organizations, incentive spending is still dispersed throughout a variety of budgets and business units, resulting in large dollars that are unaccounted for with respect to Sarbanes-Oxley, tax and payroll purposes.
IncentOne’s solutions solve these challenges by integrating:
- Seamless integration of rewards, systems, guidance and services
IncentOne integrates the rewards, systems, guidance and services required for an effective program. With its reward portfolio and proven incentive management systems, IncentOne brings together rewards, administrative services and consultation in a single solution.
- Rewards that appeal to all audiences
IncentOne’s solutions provide the ultimate reward – choice. Recipients can select rewards from our extensive catalog that includes gift cards from hundreds of national retailers and much more. This eliminates the need to pre-select or source new rewards for each program, regardless of audience demographics.
- Real-time tracking and reporting on all activity
Because all activity occurs in a single solution, IncentOne provides real-time tracking and reporting on all program activity. IncentOne’s solutions come with a series of standard reports, but we can also provide custom reporting on any element of data we have. Reports can be viewed in real time and downloaded into traditional formats such as Excel, PDF or HTML for printing.
- Proven technology and track record
IncentOne’s solutions are not being “developed” for you. Instead they leverage the collective experience of FORTUNE 500 companies and are customized for your specific needs. IncentOne regularly maintains employee, customer and member information for large corporations and undergoes significant testing to comply with the requirements of these companies. IncentOne has passed information security audits for over 50 FORTUNE 500 companies.
