The job

- What you'd sell
Heavy construction equipment, plus parts and repair service
When a construction company needs heavy machines for a job, it has to find the right equipment and keep it in good repair. The problem is, a machine that needs repairs or routine checkups can sit idle until someone gets to it. ASCO Equipment sells construction equipment and handles the parts, repairs, and preventative maintenance plans, so customers' machines stay running.

The Braun Read
Proceed with cautionA few things here deserve a hard look before you spend time on it.
- Pay
- No pay listed at all.
- Transparency
- Shares 1 of 5. Mentions territory. Ask about quota, attainment, deal size and sales cycle.
- Time on market
- Brand new.
- Company hiring
- Ramping up: posted 11 sales roles in the last 30 days. That many open roles can also mean churn. Ask how many reps are still there from last year.

Questions to ask on the first call
Built from what this posting leaves out. How they answer tells you as much as what they say.
- 1.
What did the median rep and the top rep actually earn last year?
"Unlimited" is a ceiling, not a number. You need the median.
- 2.
What percentage of fully ramped reps hit quota last year?
OTE is what you could earn. This is how likely you are to earn it.
- 3.
What percentage of reps on the team have been here more than 18 months?
Tenure shows whether people stay long enough to get paid.
- 4.
Has the comp plan changed in the last 12 to 18 months? What changed?
A plan that changes every year means the goalposts keep moving.
