Event Summary

On April 1, 2004, AeA hosted a sales compensation program on Driving Increased Revenues with an Effective Sales Compensation Plan at AeA member company, Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. in Chelmsford. Attendees learned how to select the right sales compensation design elements to help them achieve company objectives.

Michael Miller, Northeast Region Manager, The Alexander Group, kicked off the program by examining trends in sales compensation plans in the high-tech industry. He then addressed common symptoms associated with a poorly designed sales compensation program, reviewed key drivers of compensation change and summarized plan types by business growth phase. Mike then walked attendees through a disciplined process for designing best practice sales compensation plans. He noted the benefits of a good plan were significant and stressed that up-front work on the pan can ensure that the sales compensation program is appropriately aligned with a company’s business objectives.

Special thanks to Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. for hosting this event.
