The incentive ladder

A practical sequence we use to design dealer incentive campaigns that dealers can follow from briefing day to settlement.

Map the dealer tiers

We clarify exclusive dealers, multi-brand wholesalers, and sub-dealers so thresholds and rewards fit how volume actually moves.

Write the one-page ladder

Volume bands, payout rates, SKU weighting, and settlement month — readable in a single briefing without a spreadsheet.

Set guardrails

Eligibility, returns handling, and anti-dumping rules that keep contests fair and protect next-month inventory.

Brief and track

Workshops for sales managers and dealers, then mid-quarter scorecards so progress is visible before payout.

Fulfil and close

Reward logistics and settlement notes that match what dealers were promised on day one.
