2019 Australian Sales Incentive Survey

2019 Australian Sales Incentive Survey

“Currently in Australia, sales make up approximately eight percent of all jobs. Sales roles are also one of the top ten occupational categories projected to experience significant job growth over the next five years through to 2022”

Australian Jobs 2018, Australian Government Department of Jobs and Small Business, May 2018

With increased scrutiny and the changing nature of sales itself, ensuring that sales incentive plans effectively meet organisation objectives and are attractive to high calibre sales employees, both current and prospective, will become even more critical as competition for talent increases. Understanding market practice is one element of ensuring competitiveness of sales incentive plan offerings.

What is the Australian Sales Incentive Survey?

This survey provides empirical data on sales plan designs across the Australian market, enabling organisations to effectively benchmark and competitively align their sales incentive plans. The survey captured data across a number of sectors and sales functions, and in future publications this is expected to expand even further.

The report covers a wide range of design elements, including:

Plan types for different sales functions
Performance thresholds and measurements
Quota mix and duration
Sales recognition program
Caps on incentive payments

Join our Public Insights Webinar - Hosted by two subject matter experts, this 30-minute webinar will provide key survey trends and highlights including current plan design features, approaches to incentive governance practices and more. The webinar is on 31 July at 11.30am.

Can Australian men please stand up (in the workplace)

Heard about the #MeToo backlash? That men are now increasingly afraid to work solo with a woman in case their intent is misconstrued? This isn’t good news, but I do think there’s a solution.

Why workplaces must embrace the agile paradox

Agile transformation seems to be the new world of work. Embracing agility is to be applauded, but used alone it can’t deliver everything leaders want – a new paradox is at play.

Do You Have a Talent Pipeline?

New data shows that CEOs in Asia are beginning to realise that putting people at the heart of change is the only way to drive sustainable growth.
