    • Business

Incentive Compensation tech has long stood as the cornerstone of sales performance management (SPM). However, with the explosive growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies, sales experts are now searching for the next big game-changer.  Sales organizations are demanding a proactive approach that connects sales planning with incentive compensation. Traditional go-to-market methods and disconnected systems make you too slow and too reactive to change.  Join host Jacklyn Lane and special guest James Mulligan, a leader in the SPM space, as we explore the new realities of SPM and the rise of sales planning.
