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.

A few things here deserve a hard look before you spend time on it.
Built from what this posting leaves out. How they answer tells you as much as what they say.
What did the median rep and the top rep actually earn last year?
"Unlimited" is a ceiling, not a number. You need the median.
How many reps are you hiring for this, and how many from last year's class are still here?
Hiring a lot can mean growth, or people leaving.
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.
What percentage of reps on the team have been here more than 18 months?
Tenure shows whether people stay long enough to get paid.
None spotted.
Based only on what the posting says. Lights are a starting point for your first call, not a final judgment.
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.
Why is this role open? Did someone leave, or is it new?
New headcount is growth. A replacement means someone left. Ask why.
Save these for later. They land better once they've said yes to you.
Can I see the full comp plan in writing, including clawbacks and accelerators?
What's in writing is what gets paid. Read it before you sign.
Can I see the actual comp distribution for the team last year, not just the OTE?
The spread shows what most reps really take home. OTE is just the target.
I'd be walking away from earned commission to join. Is there room for a sign-on bonus to help cover that?
Leaving money behind is a fair reason to ask. The worst answer is no.
