SPM in Healthcare & Life Sciences

Screenshot 2026-06-12 at 1.46.44 PM

Healthcare and life sciences organizations are increasing sales incentive investment, yet many are seeing lower quota attainment and rising turnover among top performers.

The challenge isn’t necessarily how much they’re investing — it’s whether their SPM operating model still reflects today’s commercial reality.

Explore five structural conditions shaping HC/LS sales performance, including:

  • Why more incentive spend isn’t always driving better results
  • Where legacy SPM models are creating performance gaps
  • How leading organizations are aligning incentives, planning, and execution
  • What operating model decisions can help improve performance and ROI

Download the ebook to uncover the five conditions shaping HC/LS sales performance — and how to close the gap.
