"Judy Thompson of Compensation Clarity is my go-to person for sales compensation issues. She showed us how different sales plan components lead to certain behaviors and outcomes. Her technical, facilitation and writing skills made our new sales incentive plans manageable, while her plan documents and roll-out materials gave our sales group precisely what they needed."
