5 Ways Core Commissions Is Like Star Wars

by | May 1, 2020

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away isn’t too different from 15 years ago in Southwest Washington. Most of us here at Core Commissions are fans of the Star Wars movies. Did we dress up and wait in line to see the prequels? We’ll never tell. But we like to think that what we’re doing in automating commission calculations shares a little bit in common with how Luke, Leia, Han, and the rest of the Rebel Alliance are fighting to save the universe.

We have an R2. Our R2 is a person and his name is actually Ryan but since we have two Ryans in the office, he goes by R2.

In honor of Star Wars Day (May the Fourth Be With You), we wanted to share the best example of how Core Commissions shares similarities to the Star Wars universe. We came up with a bunch of examples but we couldn’t determine which one represented us best. So here are all of them …

5 Ways Core Commissions is like Star Wars

  1. We have an R2. Our R2 is a person and his name is actually Ryan but since we have two Ryans in the office, he goes by R2. Not only that, he’s really good at his job. So if you’ve got an R2 unit with a bad motivator (or a commission system that doesn’t work), we’ve got an R2 in prime condition who can help you get things done. (We’re also a little more honest than the Jawas.)
  2. We’ve got practice bullseyeing womp rats. After 15 years of building and configuring commission plans, we know how to target sales performance for you and your organization. You can feel confident that we’ll hit the target and destroy whatever challenges you’re facing with commission calculations. 
  3. We can read your commission plan like it’s the Death Star blueprints. Once you give us the map of your commission rules and formulas, we can help you configure them faster than you can say Grand Moff Tarkin.
  4. We’ll get you up and running on Core in less than 12 parsecs. You know, like the Millennium Falcon. Our Quick Start program gives you full access to Core for 30 days as well as 10 hours of training and setup with our experienced implementers. 
  5. We’ll make sure your archives are never incomplete. Core can integrate with your CRM, ERP, or accounting apps and automatically import records to keep your archives comprehensive at all times.

If the Star Wars references haven’t convinced you, schedule a demo so we can show you the ways of the Core Commissions Jedi. Perhaps you will become so well versed in the tools that the learner will become the master.
