What Is An Attainment Level?


When you create a sales incentive plan, you define one or more attainment levels.

Each attainment level is defined by the following:
  • A name which is automatically assigned (ex: "L1", "L2", etc.)
  • A level of difficulty (ex: "Easy", "Difficult", etc.)
  • An attainment threshold which depends on your selected measure 
    • Ex: revenue total must be >=$1000
    • Ex: profit rank must be <= 3
    • Ex: revenue growth must be >= 25%
  • A set of associated rewards (ex: a prize, a % of revenue, etc.)
  • A cumulative vs. non cumulative behavior (learn more)
