Overall Satisfaction with Spiff

We used Spiff to help our teams understand how they are measured and paid on their variable compensation model within our Customer Success department. Reps can measure their monthly / quarterly / and annual progress to plan and it takes the guess work out of what their compensation might look like.
  • Simple UI / UX
  • Easy to Configure / Manage Teams and Subteams
  • Simple Reporting
  • Reports that you can export for non-Spiff users
  • Connectivity / Setup with SF can be complicated
  • Massive time saver with my team on understanding / explaining variable compensation!
  • Game changer on performance reviews with monitoring rep % to plan
Once it's setup, from an end user perspective it's dead simple to use and navigate!
All of our reps know exactly how everything is calculated and these numbers are a leading indicator of performance. It has increased trust and accountability not only from our IC's within the department but also the finance team that processes the variable incentive payouts.
Not easy to manage, tough to maintain historically, hard to graph and visualize when you are trying to understand fluctuations in attainment / performance. Save yourself the time, the headaches and the VLookUps!!!

Yes

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Spiff again?

Yes

Well Suited
  • Well suited to provide clarity and a number for reps to understand and own.
  • Great mechanism for comp plans that have a layer of complexity (ie. customer success) where Upsells / Retention are concerned
  • For any organization that wants full transparency on % to plan for all reps in real time
  • Not sure how Spiff would work as a standalone, but I would assume that you likely need a CRM to fully take advantage of the software
