Manage ramp profiles

Prev Next

Ramp profiles reflect the time it takes for a person or territory to achieve full productivity and are built on a role-by-role basis. They apply to territory coverage assignments, targets, and capacity planning (scenarios). For example, when you set a person-level target in the teams module like a quota, apply a pre-configured ramp profile as a target adjustment to automatically adjust the person’s target based on that ramp profile.

Create a ramp profile

  1. Go to Roles > Manage Roles.

  2. Find the role you want to add a ramp profile to.

  3. Click the menu â‹® > Edit.

  4. Go to the Ramp Profiles tab.

  5. Click Add.

  6. Complete the following fields:

    Field

    Type

    The type corresponds with the territory coverage assignment type. From the dropdown select one of the following:

    • New Hire: TBH placeholder coverage assignments.

    • Normal: Normal coverage assignments

    • No Coverage:  Accounts for business generated through channels that are not directly managed by a coverage assignment (organic inbound, partner-led sales, when building sales targets on unassigned territories).

    • Replace: TBR placeholder coverage assignments.

    • Temp: Temporary coverage assignments.  

    • Transfer: TBT placeholder coverage assignments.

    Cut-Off Date

    From the dropdown, select the date when the ramp starts in the month:

    • Last Day of the Month: Calculates from the last day of the month.

    • Prorated: Calculates the first month based on the start date and prorates the ramp for days worked.

    • Specific day of the month: Calculates from the selected day of the month. For example, if you select 15 and the person’s start date is July 16, the first month of their ramp is August.
