Estimating compensation

Abstract:

A salesperson may estimate his compensation in different hypothetical scenarios by inputting hypothetical sales data into a compensation estimation system. The compensation estimation system may compute the sales person's hypothetical compensation based on both actual sales data and the hypothetical sales data, thereby producing a "what if" outlook for the sales person. Significantly, the hypothetical sales data can be entered into and modified within the compensation estimation system without modifying or corrupting the actual sales data.
