End shadow accounting.

When reps rebuild their commissions in a spreadsheet, they’re not selling. Transparent, real-time numbers put that time and energy back into the pipeline.

Abstract geometric pattern of concentric circles and dots arranged in a diamond shape with gradient colors transitioning from purple in the center to cream and orange on the outer edges.

Focus reps on the right deals.

A comp plan only works if reps understand it. When every rule is clear, your team naturally chases the deals you designed the plan for.

Circular arrangement of small to medium gradient circles in orange and purple hues forming a ring-like pattern.

Turn performance into a game.

Nothing moves a sales floor like healthy competition. Live rankings and SPIFFs keep the energy up all quarter, not just the last two weeks.

Your frequently asked questions

When reps can see exactly how every commission is calculated, they stop second-guessing their pay and spend that time selling. Whatever the commission plan or bonus scheme, Qobra gives each rep a real-time statement with every deal, rule, and formula behind their payout, so they chase the deals the plan was designed to reward and trust the number on payday.

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

Each rep has a personal dashboard showing quota attainment, progress toward accelerators, and the remaining gap to target, updated every time a deal moves in the CRM. Reps always know where they stand, without waiting for a monthly export.

The Sales Coach is Qobra’s AI agent for sales reps. It answers questions about plan rules and payouts instantly and lets reps test any deal scenario to see what it pays before it closes. It only uses the data each rep is allowed to see and escalates to admins only when needed.

Yes. Reps enter any deal scenario (amount, product, close date) and see the resulting commission in seconds, calculated with the same engine as their official statement. They can also ask The Sales Coach what a deal would pay.

Sales leaders launch a SPIFF in a few clicks: set the goal, the reward, and the dates. Qobra tracks eligibility and payouts automatically, and live leaderboards show every rep’s ranking in real time, so competition stays visible all quarter.

Qobra gives sales leaders dashboards on live data: attainment across teams and reps, who is ahead and who needs help, and performance trends over time. Quotas and attainment are stored period after period, so any historical number is one click away.

Yes. Every quota change, territory reshuffle, or ramp-up adjustment is logged with its date and author. Sales leaders, RevOps, and Finance can see who changed what and when, which ends debates over targets.

Most Qobra customers go live in a few weeks, including CRM integration and plan setup, with a dedicated CSM and no external consultants. Qobra connects natively to Salesforce and HubSpot, as well as HR systems such as HiBob, so deal and employee data flows in automatically from day one.
