2. Quota Setting & Territory Performance Targets
Build quotas for representatives and managers across the somatic and neuropsychiatry field teams using historical performance, market potential, and territory-level opportunity.
Maintain and run the data-driven allocation models that distribute the national goal down to area, region, and territory, and test the outputs for equity before release.
Process in-year quota adjustments for territory changes, market shifts, and business objectives, documenting the rationale for every change.
Produce the quota and attainment tracking the field sees, clearly enough that a rep can explain their own number.
3. Data-Driven Analytics & Reporting
Mine the warehouse and CRM to surface growth drivers, market trends, and emerging business risks, and raise what you find rather than waiting to be asked.
Translate raw data into clear, succinct narratives that provide the “so what” behind performance trends for a leadership audience.

Automate manual steps in the comp and reporting cycle to cut cycle time and reduce error rates.
Work directly with commercial leadership, finance, and operations to resolve operational issues and keep requests moving.
Audit and improve internal processes to minimize friction, enhance scalability, and maintain data integrity across CRM and sales systems.
