Why it matters: OTE tells you what you could earn. Attainment tells you how realistic it is.

Ask: “What percentage of fully ramped reps hit quota last year?”

What Avoca sells

AI agents that answer home service calls

A heating and plumbing company is out on a job when the phone rings. The caller gets no answer and dials the next company on the list. Avoca uses AI phone agents to answer those calls, book the job, and qualify the lead, so the business keeps the customer.

Solid on the basics. Use the first call to fill in the gaps.

OTE is listed. Ask what the base is.

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. 1.

    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.

  2. 2.

    What percentage of reps on the team have been here more than 18 months?

    Tenure shows whether people stay long enough to get paid.

  3. 3.

    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.

  4. 4.

    Who sits with reps and reviews calls each week?

    Coaching is often what's behind a good or bad attainment number.

  5. 5.

    What's the base, and how is the rest paid out?

    OTE without a base doesn't tell you what you can count on.

  6. 6.

    Why is this role open? Did someone leave, or is it new?

    New headcount is growth. A replacement means someone left. Ask why.

When the offer comes

Save these for later. They land better once they've said yes to you.

  1. 1.

    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.

  2. 2.

    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.

  3. 3.

    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.

Our AI-powered conversational agents handle every high-value inbound call, from booking jobs, qualifying leads, and driving higher revenue, all at a speed and consistency unmatched by human call centers. We're a Series B startup backed by Kleiner Perkins, Meritech Capital, General Catalyst, and other top-tier investors, with $125M raised and a $1B valuation. We grew 10x in 2025 and have scaled to 170+ employees in under two years across our NYC headquarters and Santa Barbara office. In a $1T+ market where 85% of missed calls go to competitors, we're building the category-defining platform for AI-driven customer engagement, serving the largest brands in home services. With high-energy, in-office teams in both locations, every hire here has an immediate and visible impact. ABOUT THE ROLE As an Enterprise Account Executive at Avoca, you'll own the full sales cycle, from first conversation to close, for our largest and most strategic home services accounts. You'll work directly with operators, and home service business leaders at scale to understand their call flows, conversion challenges, and growth goals, and help them adopt Avoca as a mission-critical revenue engine across their organization. This role is built for a hunter: someone who builds their own pipeline, thrives in founder-led sales environments, is comfortable selling a technical product into large, multi-stakeholder organizations, and wants to help define how Avoca sells as we scale upmarket. This role reports to Jack Gashi, our VP Sales. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own the end-to-end sales cycle for our largest enterprise home services customers, from prospecting to close. - Proactively build and manage your own pipeline of enterprise-fit accounts rather than waiting on inbound. - Run discovery calls to deeply understand customer operations, call workflows, and revenue pain points across complex organizations. - Deliver tailored demos and solution pitches that map Avoca's AI to enterprise outcomes and ROI. - Manage pipeline, forecasts, and deal progression across long, multi-stakeholder deal cycles with high accuracy. - Navigate complex buying committees and drive consensus across founders, operators, procurement, and finance. - Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to structure and close complex, high-ACV deals. - Provide feedback from the field to help shape product roadmap, positioning, and enterprise go-to-market strategy. - Hit and exceed aggressive monthly and quarterly revenue targets. WHAT YOU'LL BRING - 7-10 years of closing experience in B2B SaaS (AI, vertical SaaS, or operational software preferred), with a track record of winning enterprise or high-ACV deals. - A demonstrated hunter mentality, you generate and win deals rather than just manage what lands on your desk. - Proven ability to run complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles and close high-ACV deals from first touch to signature. - Strong discovery skills, you ask great questions and listen closely. - Comfort selling to operators and executives at the enterprise level. WHO YOU ARE - Experience carrying an enterprise or strategic accounts quota and winning outsized deals. - Clear, confident communicator who can explain technical concepts simply to varied stakeholders. - Highly organized, proactive, and comfortable in fast-moving environments. - Experience working in early-stage startups is a plus. - Experience selling to home services or operations-heavy businesses is a plus. - Excited to work in-office with a high-ownership team in NYC. BENEFITS - Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance - Company-sponsored 401(k) through Vestwell - Flexible PTO plus U.S. federal holidays - Company-wide off-sites - Daily in-office lunch through Parkday - Dinner covered when working late - Commuter benefits and late-night rideshare - Monthly wellness stipend - Standing desks and workspace accommodations available on request - All core tools and software provided Compensation: The expected on target earnings for this role is $380,000-$400,000 with final compensation based on experience, skills, and qualifications determined during the interview process.
