Consultant Sales Cycle Contribution

Posted by Anonymous on 50 Points
Working in the IT services industry, I am now responsible for modifying the consulting bonus structure for service personel whom work onsite at client facilities - encouraging their contribution to sales activity and the identification of additonal business opportunities.

My question is: "How can a consultant's contribution to sales activity be measured?" # of referals to other project areas? Identification of IT solutions (that can be 'pitched' to clients) beyond existing development projects? Arranging meetings with client personel, to expand existing account influence and gain additional customer share?

These are tricky areas to quantify, but they are essential to the company's engagement with the client. The point is to leverage existing account relationship capital and generate higher client billing revenues as realized from the identification of new projects. Any and all advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.
