Riyadh, KSA – Maven Insights, a regional management consulting firm is proud to launch Smart Incentive, a comprehensive sales design and simulation platform. This platform is a smart and data-driven approach to sales incentive design and is essentially a combination of Maven Insights’ ten-plus years of experience in the sales transformation and employee motivation domain.

Smart Incentive is a platform-based consultancy offering giving companies the opportunity to subscribe and complete their own incentive plan design and simulations in real-time. It allows users to design and simulate incentive plan alternatives against various sales achievement scenarios, which help with accurate budget allocation and fairer pay for performance outcomes.

“Smart Incentive utilizes years of practical sales incentive design and implementation expertise, and through advanced analytics and storylining hardcoded into its core, provides anyone with the ability to conduct highly sophisticated sales compensation design work in minutes. Often businesses underestimate the sheer amount of diligence required to design a truly effective incentive program. Eventually, this hurts the company financially and leads to a loss of motivation among the salesforce.”

Through the launch of Smart Incentive, Maven Insights aims to uplift businesses that might have a limited budget to employ the services of incentive planning experts, yet who still have the need to reflect experience when designing sales incentive plans. These are companies that are conscious of the ambiguity in the markets, hence the need for a sophisticated simulation platform that can help them test their desired incentive plans in a reliable way.

The platform is simple to use, and it allows users to clearly define the relationship between performance, cost, and earnings and determine which employees will benefit, and who won’t. Smart Incentive also allows users to evaluate budget excess, how decisions impact revenue, and motivation. All this is done through the highly user-friendly interface with just a few clicks.

Smart Incentive is also available for download as an Android app on the Google Play store, and on Salesforce AppExchange.
