Case Study

A SaaS Software Company achieved a 13% increase in
bookings per rep

This client was experiencing declining revenue, largely driven by the decision to bifurcate the business units and limit the portfolio of what reps could sell, which resulted in misalignment between what the customer wanted, and what the reps were measured against. ​

Cortado recommended restructuring the business and developing a compensation plan that would drive growth

  • Pricing
  • Marketing

Company’s Challenge

  • Sales reps were not able to sell the entire product portfolio

  • Plan design was complex and did not drive desired behavior
  • Insufficient upside opportunity for top performing reps
  • Outdated quota and territory methodologies resulted in the organizations top performers being penalized
