The Braun Read
Ask hard questionsToo much is left unsaid. Make them answer before you invest.
- Pay
- OTE is listed. Ask what the base is.
- 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 202+ days. Ask why it's been hard to fill.
- Company hiring
- Ramping up: posted 7 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.
