What Candid Health sells

AI and automation handle clinic insurance paperwork

Clinics and doctors' offices spend a lot of time on paperwork just to get paid by insurance companies. Candid Health uses AI and automation to take on that admin work. Providers can then spend more time caring for patients.

The Braun Read

Ask hard questions

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

Pay
Base is listed but not OTE. Ask what the variable is and how many people hit it.
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 35 days. Normal, but not fresh.
Company hiring
3 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 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 OTE, and what did the median rep earn last year?

    Base is what you're guaranteed. OTE and the median show the upside.

  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.

About the Role The Sales team at Candid Health is entering an exciting new phase of expansion following our Series D fundraise. As we move into new markets and scale our operations, we are looking for a Business Development Representative (BDR) to be at the forefront of this growth. This is a unique opportunity to directly impact our expansion by building a robust top-of-funnel pipeline for our Account Executive team through strategic and highly targeted outbound efforts. At this stage of our company, you will not only be responsible for executing on our go-to-market strategy but also for helping to shape it. If you're eager to drive meaningful impact and help propel Candid into new markets, we'd love to have you on board. What you’ll be doing - Own the Outbound Strategy: Develop and execute a strategic outbound plan to build a pipeline of new customers across various new markets. This includes crafting targeted messaging for cold calls, emails, and meetings with physician organizations, MSOs, and PE-backed roll-ups ranging from mid-market to large enterprise. - Generate and Qualify Leads: Use a mix of prospecting tools and your own research to identify and qualify key decision-makers and target companies. You will be heavily involved in the initial discovery and qualification phase of the sales process. - Optimize the Sales Playbook: Help build and refine the sales playbook for current and future sellers. Your insights will be critical in developing best practices and scaling our sales efforts as we grow. - Partner for Success: Work closely with Account Executives to seamlessly hand off highly qualified leads that translate into new business. - Leverage Data: Use Salesforce and other sales automation tools to track and report on key sales metrics. You will manage and prioritize your sales pipeline, maintaining accurate records to ensure effective communication and collaboration within the team. - Be a Market Expert: Stay up to date with the latest industry trends, competitor activities, and the needs of our target clients in new markets. Continuously educate yourself on Candid's evolving products and value proposition to effectively differentiate us from the competition. - Amplify Your Talent: Candid is intensely focused on hiring the most talented individuals, then developing and molding them with accelerated career pathing. Who you are - Results-Oriented Experience: You have up to 2 years of experience in metrics driven sales, outreach, and/or customer service environments (with cross-selling or sales components). - Experience as an BDR is a plus, but not required. - Exceptional recent graduates with relevant internship or sales experience are also encouraged to apply. - A Confident Communicator: You are comfortable and confident making cold calls and have strong verbal and written communication skills. - Proactive and Curious: You are constantly looking for ways to improve not only your own performance but also the overall sales strategy. You thrive on solving complex problems and finding new opportunities. - Ownership Mentality: You take accountability for your work, manage competing priorities, and treat your territory like your own business. - AI-Forward: You're comfortable using AI and modern sales tools to improve research, prospecting, messaging, and productivity.
