2. Compensation Planning That Fuels Growth 
Compensation Planning is one of the key functions of SP&A, where the team builds models and schemes that maximize sales impact and elevate business performance:
✨ Optimize sales network resources (POS, headcount, territory design).
✨ Ensure network quality with performance evaluation, risk control, cost optimization, and compliance checks.
✨ Lead sales budgeting and monthly planning; run bonus and commission calculations with accuracy and compliance.
✨ Establish policies and motivation programs that align performance with strategy.

3. Business Partnership & Collaboration
The team works hand-in-hand with stakeholders across the organization to bridge strategy and execution:
✨Collaborate with Sales, Finance, Customer, Risk, and other teams to align priorities.
