Pathlight vs. QuotaPath

It's really an all-in-one solution for tracking the success of a sales team. You can establish unique earning paths per sales rep (user) to allow for flexible commission structures, bonus payouts for going above and beyond, and more. I think it's a great solution for anyone looking to get more insight into their sales team's productivity - and to expand an existing sales force.

• We don’t have to calculate commissions in Excel anymore! It takes a fraction of the time it used to calculate commissions. Saves about 1-2 days on month end close. I like that it is easy for me and reps to drill down and see the calculations of their payouts. Reps can see calcs all month long instead of having to wait until the end of the month, so acts as a motivator. Sales managers can manage their direct reports better.
• When I first started using QP, I was not thrilled with the quota attainment reporting for dollars, percent, and team management. I’m glad that they added leaderboards and are working on better reporting. I like the UX and UI of the whole software.
• I like being able to export the following easily to Excel – resolved payouts for all payouts, payouts by rep, and Ledger (ASC 606) info.
• Admins can request that reps acknowledge their plans through QP, which helps with compliance and ensures we are in agreement with calculations. I like that they are adding a docusign feature.
• You can easily adjust earnings if a correction is needed, even after the month is closed. Just make sure you reverse from the end of the process (i.e. undo in ledger, undo the resolved payout, delete the unresolved payout, un-approve the deal).

• More workspace roles with the ability to customize what each user is able to do. Currently, there's only member and team manager. The team manager currently has too much power and we want to remove some of the things they're able to do like approve deals.
• When you sync a deal from the CRM, you can override the earnings but you cannot override the field value you're syncing over. It would be great if that was possible.
• When you want to exclude a deal, you have to go in the filters and add a rule to exclude the ID. It would be better if there's an option to reject deals in certain paths as an approver.

I don't have buying decision but we have input on the software or solutions we use and this has been a game changer to review our commissions. Quota Path makes it very easy to ensure we are on target. Saves us a lot of time compared to using spreadsheets

We got a dedicated CSM to help with bugs, troubleshooting, and redesign of comp plans. When we ran into issues with the calculations, the CSM was able to assist identifying the root case so that we could fix it. CSM was also very receptive of product roadmap ideas and willing to engage quarterly or more often.

Salesforce is better for more extensive and sales-focused companies with more nuances, but it also comes with a hefty price tag. QuotaPath is excellent for smaller teams kicking things off. I would recommend it as a beginner solution or an excellent lightweight solution for sales transparency and payouts to your team.
