PointsPlan is multi-layered and allows you to use the program through multiple layers of distribution.
This gives you, for the first time, the ability to communicate with all levels and influence the entire sales process.
For example, a manufacturer of sunglasses could offer special incentives to the employees of all participating retailers in Florida, within 200 miles of the Daytona Speedway for the two weeks before the "500" race. Each staff member can be sent a personalized email or letter explaining the program. Their personalized web page will give them all details and track their sales data. They can check on the progress of other stores and staff members. During and after the sale you can survey the staff about best sellers, best colors or best displays. You can even ask them about your competitor's promotions. This is all done with no administration costs by filling out a form in your browser.
Is PointsPlan for you?
Are you a manufacturer who sells your products through distributors and/or retailers? Do you want a way to influence and reward the people who sell your products to the end user? Do you want the ability to track your customer's sales by location and by employee? Then PointsPlan can dramatically improve your business.
Are you a distributor marketing a product that requires training and advanced product knowledge? Are you selling it into a competitive marketplace? PointsPlan gives you an efficient way to train your sales force, and your customer's sales team, while identifying and rewarding the top performers.
Are you a retailer with multiple branches, seeking to improve your employee's product knowledge, salesmanship and attachment rates? Are you tired of the costs and delays required to keep your existing online training up to date? PointsPlan integrates all training and rewards functions and allows you to take control of the entire process.
PointsPlan is ideally suited to organizations that deal with multiple layers of organization or distribution. Typically our customers will have 100 to many thousands of participants.
PointsPlan is not designed to reward retail customers or end users. It is designed to reward and motivate your sales team, your branch salespeople and the employees of your customers.
No Impact on Your Infrastructure
PointsPlan is a hosted application that is accessible from any computer with a browser. There is no impact on your servers or your IT staff. PointsPlan can be ready to launch in as little as a week, completely personalized for your company and your customer's companies.
Training and testing are built into the PointsPlan system. You do not need to use one system to train your staff and another to reward them. Everything is integrated and each program can be affected by the results of tests or quizzes the staff member has taken.
Designing, testing and implementing a targeted incentive plan “in-house” could take years. Once created, work orders to improve or change the program could take months. Staff rotation or cutbacks could result in the project being abandoned. The priorities of other departments could delay or so modify the project that it might no longer achieve the results you need. (A major company recently became a PointsPlan customer after their own IT department was unable to deliver a useable program after three years of development.)
PointsPlan is ready to go to work for you immediately. It is tested, proven and bulletproof.
The Advantages of Points
Studies prove that points are perceived as better than money by participating staff.
Cash awards have no trophy value.
Cash gets used for bills and is not remembered
Cash costs 100% on the dollar.
One year later less than 60% of staff even remember
receiving a cash award
By using your own merchandise in your points store you get your products into your sales staff's homes. This improves product knowledge and builds product confidence.
Quick and Easy
PointsPlan can be implemented in as little
as a week. There is no need to purchase
additional servers or equipment - use
our fast dedicated servers - and you don't need
to tie up your programming staff. We can
work with any type of data from your legacy
systems, even spreadsheets or DOS text.
