How Visdum Helps Sales Ops Automate Payouts

Key Takeaways

‍

Sales Ops teams use Visdum to:
‍

• Eliminate spreadsheets and VLOOKUP errors with rule-based logic
• Sync real-time data from CRM, ERP, and billing tools automatically
• Give reps live dashboards showing earnings and quota attainment
• Auto-generate commission statements with no manual effort
• Adapt comp plans instantly- no need to rebuild spreadsheets
  
  

What is Visdum and why does Sales Ops need it?

‍

Visdum is a sales commission automation platform that integrates with your CRM, ERP, and payroll systems to calculate, track, and communicate payouts in real time.

‍

If you’re manually exporting deals from Salesforce or HubSpot into spreadsheets, applying formulas and credit logic, and sharing payouts days later- Visdum eliminates that whole workflow. It’s faster, more accurate, and scalable.

‍

Are you still managing commissions with spreadsheets?

‍

Sales Ops teams often rely on Excel or Google Sheets to:

• Export deal data from Salesforce or HubSpot
• Manually assign credits and apply splits
• Use VLOOKUP and nested formulas for calculations
• Reconcile numbers with Finance
• Send statements manually to reps
  
  

This approach breaks easily when:
‍

• There are >10 reps
• Comp plans need to adapt to changes often
• You need transparency and auditability
• Reps want visibility into payout details
