  • Life Sciences 2027 Sales Compensation Planning

    Webinar

    Align Incentives With Growth

    October 27, 2026 | 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. ET

    As life sciences organizations finalize their 2027 commercial plans, sales compensation must keep pace.

    Product launches, portfolio expansion, evolving coverage models and higher productivity expectations are changing how commercial teams are expected to grow. The challenge is translating those priorities into role-specific plans, credible quotas, clear measures and differentiated rewards without creating unnecessary complexity or cost.

    Join Alexander Group’s Life Sciences practice leaders for a practical session designed to help commercial, sales operations, compensation, finance and HR leaders pressure-test their 2027 sales compensation programs before implementation.

    Craig Ackerman and Sean Higgins will walk attendees through the critical checks for pressure-testing 2027 sales compensation plans before implementation, helping identify gaps and areas that may require further refinement.

    The discussion will empower you to:

    • Translate your 2027 growth strategy into plan design: Connect priorities such as product launches, new customer acquisition, portfolio expansion, strategic-account growth and evolving coverage models to the roles, measures and behaviors your plans reinforce.
    • Establish a clear compensation philosophy: Define the principles that guide eligibility, pay-for-performance, role alignment and plan decisions across the organization.
    • Align plans to life sciences selling models: Examine lifecycle-based incentives for biotech and pharma, portfolio and installed-base growth for analytical instruments, and bookings-versus-revenue decisions for CROs, CDMOs and pharma services organizations.
    • Set credible quotas and differentiate performance: Connect forecast quality, territory potential, quota allocation and pay curves to create achievable goals, meaningful upside and stronger performance differentiation.
    • Balance motivation with financial discipline: Evaluate pay mix, measures, accelerators and incentive expense while maintaining plan simplicity, market competitiveness and compensation cost-of-sales alignment.
    • Build the governance required for successful execution: Establish decision rights, analytics, communication and change-management practices that help leaders implement plans on time, monitor effectiveness and reinforce intended behaviors after launch.

    Register now to pressure-test your 2027 sales compensation plan and identify the changes needed to support growth, productivity and commercial execution.

  • EMEA: Beyond Recurring Revenue – The New Rules of Profitable Growth for Technology XaaS Leaders in 2027

    Webinar

    Beyond Recurring Revenue: The New Rules of Profitable Growth for Technology XaaS Leaders in 2027

    18 November 2026 | 16:00 – 17:00 GMT | Complimentary Virtual Event

    Technology companies are navigating a rapid shift toward recurring and consumption-based revenue, outcome-led selling and AI-enabled go-to-market roles. At the same time, leaders are also facing greater pressure to improve retention, productivity and profitable growth. These changes are forcing organisations to rethink how they reward performance, define seller success and align incentives with long-term customer value. With most organisations revisiting their plans and only a small minority viewing current designs as fully effective, leaders need to act now to ensure rewards reinforce profitable growth, customer value realisation and the next generation of go-to-market work.

    Alexander Group is hosting a webinar where sales compensation and revenue leaders will explore how leading XaaS organisations are adapting coverage models, measures, pay curves and operating practices to keep incentives aligned with evolving customer economics. The session will combine current research, practical examples and peer discussion to help leaders identify the most important actions for their organisations.

    Main topics include:

    • Evolving XaaS models: How recurring, consumption-based and outcome-led selling are reshaping GTM coverage and customer lifecycle ownership.
    • Sales compensation priorities: Strengthening pay for performance, aligning measures to growth and retention and keeping plans simple and cost-effective.
    • AI-enabled sales compensation: Using AI to improve plan design, analytics, operations, communication and seller support with appropriate governance.

    Why Attend

    Attend to benchmark your organisation against current industry practices, learn how peers are responding to changing revenue models as well as customer lifecycle demands and pressure-test your own sales compensation priorities. You’ll leave with practical ideas for aligning coverage, measures and rewards; improving productivity and pay-for-performance; simplifying plans; and identifying high-value AI use cases for the sales compensation function.
