SPIFF (Sales Performance Incentive Fund) is a short-term bonus given to sales representatives for achieving specific goals, such as closing a sale or booking a demo. It is designed to motivate sales reps, boost sales, and encourage desired behaviors. SPIFFs help companies meet short-term targets while also enhancing employee engagement. Common uses of SPIFFs include motivating sales reps, increasing sales, driving specific behaviors, encouraging teamwork (if team-based), providing tangible rewards, and enhancing overall employee engagement.
