Background
Our client needed to facilitate transparency and accountability within their sales organization by enabling collaboration during the planning process for customer account assignments, territory planning, and quota setting.
Challenge
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.
