The success of a long term project such as a development in Europe requires clear
goals and
accurate
timing. As a matter of fact, unrealistic
forecasts quickly leads to failure: headcount dismissals, closing of subsidiaries,
markets losses, sacrified investments and most importantly damaged reputation
Software in Europe helps software publishers detail
realistic goals
and sales plan on each European market. The goals are used in particular
to validate the
return on investment in localization and sales development
of the software publisher in Europe, and to define the yearly and quarterly
goals of its sales teams, subsidiaries and partners.
The recommendations of Software in Europe are delivered in the shape of commented
Excel spreadsheets presenting :
A set of recommended goals by country, by software and possibly by
related service
The possible distribution of the sales goals among the various types
of sales selected
The breakdown of the goals by distributor if they are several on the
targeted market .
The goal breakdowns that we propose are based on the over-allocation
principle, whereby the sum of each individual goal is superior to the overall
goal of the region. The over-allocation percentage is carefully adapted to each
situation.
If you do not have at your disposition the commission plans suitable to the
selected sales models and goals, Software in Europe proposes compensation
plans models and include its sales goals proposals into these plans in order
to allow their "turnkey" utilization.
