Kyle Russell, Senior Leader of RevOps
"We were able to get really specific about our Q1 goals. With sales reps seeing their progress and us having the visibility into how we're moving towards our goals in real-time, we truly understand where we're at as a company. I can also report that we've been able to hit five goals that we weren't always hitting before. So, Everstage has had a big impact there."
Nate Johns, Head of Revenue Operations
"The insights derived from Everstage are used during quota planning for the upcoming year. The leadership and the Finance teams can clearly define the money paid out, and use the performance insights of the sales team to optimize commission plans. Custom reports which require a lot of effort in building were seamlessly generated in Everstage, thereby cutting down the annual planning time by half."
Krishna TV, Senior Director of Finance

"There was a seamless handoff between the POC into the implementation; we had the majority of the work spelled out. Everstage kept pace with how fast we wanted to do it. I don't usually say this about implementations, but I don't feel like there were any hiccups at all."

"I can't speak enough praises for the team; they brought it all together. It was especially such a turmoil time because we had just changed our commission plans. They had the knowledge, and they were confident that they could implement it."

"The consultation through implementation was incredible. The team asked questions about why we're doing it a certain way and our goals behind it to provide suggestions, which wasn't the case with our previous implementation. It was more of them pushing the buttons, and us telling them what buttons to push."

"We've moved more into a self-service model and we've really been able to use the tool to maximize our investment. There's one SPIF that isn't supposed to roll out until the end of the quarter. People have already begun selling it, and we're able to track it for this quarter already. So, it's definitely sped up the time for us to make changes in our go-to-market strategy."

"Everstage has improved our commission processing speed. Previously, I was spending anywhere from 3 to 6 hours per week. On Everstage, I spend about an hour, hour and a half the whole month on commissions. It's allowed us to think more outside the box about the changes we want to make in the future as we are confident that Everstage will be able to do it."
Katrina Reeves, Senior Accounts Payable and Receivable Specialist at Popmenu

"We use Everstage a lot for our one-on-one conversations throughout the quarter, where we're looking at where our pipeline is headed. For instance, we set a goal for how much reps want to make that month, and track that for them. Those are a bit more motivating conversations instead of just seeing where they're at."

"There was just so much going on in the other software, and it became very overwhelming. It's refreshing that even if there wasn't any training, I know that someone can go into Everstage and they'll be able to find what they're looking for. You couldn't do that unless you were trained intensively in the legacy software."

"Crystal forecasting is such a powerful tool. I regularly got emails from our sales reps asking how much their payout would be based on the ACV they're booking. It's time-consuming to get that information for them. Crystal eliminates queries, and helps reps structure their deals with more knowledge on their expected payouts."
Yasmina Emara, Senior Compensation Analyst at Nitro

"We ran Everstage and our calculations simultaneously for a quarter to ensure it had the correct attainment and the payout amounts. We found everything to be accurate so that gives Everstage a 10 out of 10 in terms of credibility. If there ever was any discrepancy, it usually was actually on our end and it helped us fix them."
Yasmina Emara, Senior Compensation Analyst at Nitro

"I perform all the tasks myself, including plan building and quota management. On a daily basis, I'm on Everstage answering queries, creating reports, and updating user data. It takes minimal time and runs itself. It saves me at least 2 hours weekly. Our payout cycle at the start of every month has reduced from 10 days to 3 days."
Yasmina Emara, Senior Compensation Analyst at Nitro

"We save a lot by requiring only one person for sales compensation. An additional cost saving point for Eversage is that the dashboards helped a lot while designing our plans this year. I was able to do some cost-saving analysis to predict how the payouts would be versus our older plans, and then make a more informed decision during plan design."
