A sales manager told us, β€œπ‘΄π’š 𝒔𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒆𝒕 π’˜π’π’“π’Œπ’” π’‡π’Šπ’π’†.” Meanwhile, he’d overpaid €87k in the past 3 months. How? He manages 10 reps across 4 countries. Same recurring FX mistake, every month: his sheet was converting salaries into local currencies that were already in that currency. Total overpaid: €87k... Nobody flagged it. We found it, months later. This happens more than you think. The moment your comp plan touches more than one currency, a spreadsheet stops being a system and becomes a rounding error waiting to happen. We handle FX with clear logic. Every conversion gets checked before a number reaches a rep. Don’t gamble with dozens of spreadsheets. Use Driven, and be 100% sure. Always.
