Media & Entertainment Industry
Connect to a Competitive Advantage
Media and entertainment is no stranger to disruption. Varicent Incentive Compensation Management empowers you to pivot as your needs change, support your customers everywhere, and confidently lead your teams to achieve their best results.
Your Customers Are Changing
the Way They Buy
With the acceleration of digital media, your customers are changing the way they buy, and you must be ready to change on a dime.
Increased Complexity is a Cause of Concern
In media and entertainment, the many segments, geographies, verticals, and channels mean it is extraordinarily complex and time-consuming to understand team's or individual’s performance. The fallout is that your sales teams aren’t certain how much they will be paid, or even how they are paid. With growing complexity comes frustration and an increasing number of inquiries which distracts both the sales team as well as administrators from higher-value work.
Outdated Technology Slows Down Your Success
To move fast and keep up with change, you must launch new offerings regularly. Legacy tools and siloed processes make it difficult to keep incentive compensation tied to your offerings, ensure they drive the right behavior, and make it easy for your sales reps to understand.
Dispersed Data Makes Decision-Making a Challenge
When your data is scattered across your organization in many systems like finance and your bookings systems, creating insightful reports to help make decisions feels impossible. You are forced to rely on gut feel and static data but are nervous about your recommendations.
