In a high-growth environment, competing priorities, internal conflict, process discipline, and internal controls posed potential planning challenges for the sales team. Handshake agreements were no longer sustainable and they needed a more established framework.
Approach
- Streamlined the account assignment process for first-line managers with a succinct set of action items by introducing customized approval and rejection workflows using Anaplan. - Streamlined the bottom-up quota setting process with customized approvals and commentary to pinpoint problems. - Captured a complete history of account movement during the planning process by communicating within Anaplan.
