The Braun Read

Ask hard questions

Too much is left unsaid. Make them answer before you invest.

Pay
No pay listed at all.
Transparency
Says nothing about quota, attainment, deal size, territory or sales cycle.
Pipeline
Mostly self-sourced. Great if you like outbound, rough if you don't.
Time on market
Open 24 days. Normal, but not fresh.
Company hiring
2 sales roles open, hiring at a steady pace.

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 are the base and the OTE for this role?

    No point investing hours before you know the number.

  3. 3.

    What's the annual quota, and how was it set?

    A quota built from real data is a target. Otherwise it's a hope.

  4. 4.

    What share of last year's closed deals did reps source themselves?

    Shows how much pipeline you'll have to build on your own.

  5. 5.

    How long is ramp, and what's the quota during it?

    Full quota on day one means you start behind.

  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.

Guided by our core values of Truth, Excellence, Work Ethics, and Innovation, we are committed to serving our customers and supporting one another with integrity and accountability. At BOS, people come first. We believe in cultivating an environment where talented individuals grow into inspired professionals of character and competence. Our purpose is not only to deliver great technology, but also to develop great people - fostering collaboration, continuous learning, and professional growth. About the Role TrueLight is bringing to market a breakthrough AI-powered inspection platform that gives manufacturers automated, high-precision quality inspection at production speed, launching with 3D-AI Weld Inspection. This Technical Sales Engineer owns the go-to-market for TrueLight’s AI inspection platform, starting with 3D-AI Weld Inspection and expanding to additional inspection applications and products as they come to market. The role sells through two channels: direct deals where TrueLight integrates the AI inspection solution into a customer’s production line, and technology/product sales to other systems integrators and manufacturers who will integrate it themselves. Success means building a real pipeline in both channels — you’re not just selling a service, you’re selling a product that other technical buyers need to say yes to on its own merits. The ideal candidate is a self-directed, technically credible seller who can speak fluently to quality, manufacturing, and automation engineers, understands the difference between selling an integrated solution and selling a product to a peer integrator, and is energized by owning the commercial strategy for a new product from the ground up. Location: London, ON Employment Type: Full Time Department: TrueLight Salary: $90,000 - $110,000 RESPONSIBILITIES Inspection Platform Sales - Identify, research, and engage prospective customers for TrueLight’s AI inspection platform, leading with 3D-AI Weld Inspection and prioritizing Tier 1 automotive and industrial manufacturing accounts. - Build and manage a two-track pipeline: - end customers who want TrueLight to integrate the solution, and - systems integrators and OEMs who want to buy or license the technology to integrate themselves. - Develop and execute outreach and channel-partner strategies specific to AI quality inspection, including identifying and cultivating integrator/OEM partnerships as a distinct sales motion. - Conduct technical presentations and live product demonstrations for engineering, quality, and operations stakeholders. - Qualify leads, manage the sales cycle, and close deals across both channels. - Represent TrueLight’s AI-enabled inspection solutions at relevant trade shows and industry events. Product & Market Development - Serve as the voice of the market back into TrueLight - feeding customer and competitive intelligence to product and engineering to sharpen the roadmap for the inspection platform and future inspection products. - Develop pricing, packaging, and proposal templates appropriate to product sales (as distinct from project-based integration quoting). - Partner with marketing on lead generation and positioning specific to the AI inspection platform. Customer Support - Maintain relationships with closed inspection customers and integrator partners to ensure a strong reference base and identify expansion opportunities as new platform products launch. - Loop in technical teams as needed to support customer success post-close.

Accommodations are available on request for candidates taking part in all aspects of the selection process. Your interest in this opportunity is appreciated. Applicants must be eligible to work in Canada. Only those applicants selected for an interview will be contacted. Requirements - 2+ years of experience in a Solutions Engineer, Technical Sales, or Field Application Engineer role, explicitly selling complex hardware/software solutions into manufacturing environments. - Strong familiarity with machine vision systems (2D vs 3D sensors, optics, and lighting) or industrial automation components (PLCs, robotics, factory automation protocols). Knowledge of industrial welding processes (MIG, TIG, laser, spot) is a significant asset. - Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, or a diploma or training in engineering technology, automation, robotics, or mechatronics, or equivalent hands-on industrial field experience. - Willingness to travel up to 20–40%, including international travel (primarily to the United States) to manufacturing facilities and partner sites for on-site discoveries, testing, and system deployments. A valid passport is required. - Valid driver’s license and an acceptable driving record, with the ability to be covered under TrueLight’s insurance policy for business driving.
