Let the Sales Coach answer every rep question.

Chat flow showing a conversation where Jennifer Jones asks why her deal with Vertex Labs - ACME Corp isn't counted in this month's statement, Sales Coach replies that the deal isn't included because its close date was after the period cut-off and suggests opening a request for review. A purple button labeled 'Open a request' is below. The Finance team then validates the request, followed by an Admin applying the change, each step marked with an icon.

Your frequently asked questions

Reps who understand exactly how their pay is calculated spend their time selling instead of checking spreadsheets. With Qobra, every rep sees each deal, rule, and payout in real time, so they chase the deals the plan was designed for and stop second-guessing their statement. Transparency also removes end-of-month disputes between Sales, RevOps, and Finance.

Shadow accounting is when reps rebuild their commission plan in a personal spreadsheet to check whether they are being paid correctly. It costs selling time and creates disputes. Qobra ends it by showing each calculation step on the rep's statement and letting them simulate any deal scenario directly in the platform.

The Sales Coach answers reps' compensation questions instantly: how a rule works, why a payout landed where it did, or what they would earn on a given deal. It only uses the rep's own data and permissions, and it escalates to admins only when needed, which cuts commission questions to RevOps by up to 90%.

Yes. In Qobra, reps enter any deal scenario, such as amount, product, or close date, and see the resulting commission in seconds, using the same calculation engine as their official statement. The simulation is always aligned with the live plan, with no spreadsheet to maintain.

You design SPIFFs on any goal, such as a product launch, a target segment, or a quarterly push, and Qobra automates eligibility and payouts. Reps follow their live ranking on a leaderboard inside Qobra, which keeps the competition visible all period long without manual updates.

Each rep gets a personal statement and dashboard with quota attainment, earned and projected commissions, payout history, and a breakdown of every calculation. Reps can raise a question or dispute directly from the statement, and each request is tracked and resolved before payday.
