1 Identify the root cause

The first step to resolving a sales commission dispute or error is to identify the root cause of the problem. Is it a data entry mistake, a system glitch, a miscommunication, or a policy violation? You need to gather all the relevant information and evidence, such as sales reports, contracts, invoices, emails, and screenshots, to verify the accuracy of the commission claim and the calculation method. You also need to review the commission plan and the terms and conditions that apply to the salesperson and the deal.

In my experience it is essential to gather relevant information from the individual, and the evidence from available sources including sales governance reports. Reports, or any sales commission data utilised in the calculation are only as good as their design. Sometimes logic that goes in behind the scenes may cause an anomaly. It pays to be curious.

2 Communicate clearly and promptly

The second step to resolving a sales commission dispute or error is to communicate clearly and promptly with the affected parties. You don't want to leave your salespeople in the dark or make them feel ignored or cheated. You need to acknowledge the issue, explain the situation, and provide a timeline for the resolution. You also need to listen to their concerns and feedback, and address them respectfully and professionally. You want to maintain a positive and trusting relationship with your sales team, and avoid any unnecessary conflicts or escalations.

I feel effective communication starts with the attitude of the employer. By being open and showing the employees that you care, it will make it easier for employees to approach you in the first place. This leads to open dialogue and less mistakes being made.

3 Use a software solution

The third step to resolving a sales commission dispute or error is to use a software solution that can automate and simplify the commission process. A sales commission software can help you eliminate human errors, reduce manual work, and ensure accuracy and transparency. It can also help you track and manage commission disputes and errors, and provide reports and analytics to identify and prevent common issues. A sales commission software can save you time, money, and hassle, and improve your sales team's satisfaction and performance.

In some businesses that may not work. In my experience, if salespeople have different buckets to fill to get different percentages it’s not so “one size fits all”.

5 Reward and recognize your sales team

The fifth step to resolving a sales commission dispute or error is to reward and recognize your sales team for their achievements and contributions. You need to pay your salespeople on time and in full, and provide them with incentives and bonuses for exceeding their targets or closing challenging deals. You also need to celebrate their successes, and provide them with feedback and coaching to help them grow and improve. You want to motivate and inspire your sales team, and show them that you value and appreciate their work.

Rules are not set in stone. Reward your sales people or team for their contribution, effort and the ability to close deals. Don’t extinguish fires, be transparent, fight for your team - and reward continuous contributions and effort. This is not rocket science.

You also need to implement any changes or actions that can prevent or minimize the occurrence of similar issues in the future. You want to continuously monitor and evaluate your commission process, and seek feedback and suggestions from your sales team and other stakeholders.
