Mongo DB Sales Compensation Analyst Challenge
Objective:
In this challenge, you will help create an FY22 Compensation Model for 4 Account Executives (AEs). Each AE will have two Quota Targets: [1] New Annual Contract Value (NACV) & [2] Services. All relevant data (Account Executive data & Quota data) are shown on Page 2.
Your task is to create a model that shows the following for each AE:
· FY22 NACV Quota (Aggregate & broken out by month)
· FY22 Services Quota (Aggregate & broken out by month)
· FY22 Nominal Rate
After creating the model, please answer the following questions
1. Why do you think there are two separate target elements (NACV & Services)?
2. What other elements could be added to enhance the comp plan?
3. How would you evaluate the success of a comp plan?
4. What are some complexities you would anticipate in putting together comp models for a global sales organization?
Definitions:
· FY22: Fiscal Year 2022, which starts on 2/1/2021 and ends on 1/31/2022
· Account Executive: Sales Rep
· New Annual Contract Value (NACV): The annual value of a subscription that is new (think of it as annual revenue of a deal sold).
· Services: Consulting packages, training, and other non-recurring products; separate from NACV.
· Ramping Quota: Quota that a sales rep takes during the first 12 months of their tenure
· Ramped Quota: Quota that a sales rep takes from Months 13+ onwards
· Nominal Rate: Rate at which each dollar closed by the sales rep is paid
· Variable: The amount of an AE’s compensation that is tied to quotas
Additional Information:
· Feel free to create the model in any tool you feel comfortable with (Excel, Google Sheets, etc.)
· The comp model should show each AE’s quota for the full 2022 fiscal year
· If an AE joins after 2/1/21, then their quota should be prorated for the months that they have been onboard for FY22.
· Nominal Rate is a function of an AE’s Variable Pay, NACV Quota, and Services Quota (Each dollar of NACV closed is valued the same as each dollar of Services closed)
