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

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.

Description City Wide Facility Solutions is seeking an experienced Outside B2B Sales Executive to acquire net-new commercial clients within a protected territory. This is a true new-business “hunter” position. Your primary responsibility will be to build a qualified sales pipeline, gain access to business decision-makers, identify facility-service needs, develop customized proposals, and close new commercial service agreements. This is not primarily an account-management, customer-service, retail-sales, residential-sales, leasing, marketing-outreach, or inbound-lead position. Candidates whose experience is primarily in those areas may have valuable transferable skills, but that experience does not replace a demonstrated track record of outside B2B prospecting and closing net-new business. Who We Are Looking For The ideal candidate has at least three years of recent experience in a quota-carrying outside B2B sales role in which they were personally responsible for generating and closing new commercial business. You should be comfortable creating opportunities rather than waiting for leads.

Successful candidates will be able to explain their past sales performance with specific numbers, including: - Annual new-business quota - Percentage of quota achieved - Percentage of pipeline personally generated - Average contract or deal size - Typical sales-cycle length - Types of decision-makers sold to - Prospecting activities used to generate opportunities About the Role As an Outside B2B Sales Executive, you will own the full new-business sales process from initial prospecting through signed agreement and successful handoff.

This position requires persistence, strong business judgment, disciplined prospecting, professional communication, and the ability to manage a territory without constant supervision.

Key Responsibilities - Develop and execute a territory plan focused on acquiring net-new commercial clients. - Build and maintain a self-generated pipeline through cold calling, cold emailing, in-person prospecting, referrals, networking, and other outbound sales activities. - Identify and gain access to property managers, facility managers, business owners, operations leaders, procurement professionals, and other qualified decision-makers. - Conduct discovery meetings to understand each prospect’s facility needs, operational challenges, current service arrangements, and purchasing process. - Perform on-site facility surveys and gather the information needed to develop accurate service recommendations and proposals. - Present customized facility-service solutions that clearly communicate value, expected outcomes, and City Wide’s service model. - Advance opportunities through the complete sales process, from initial contact through qualification, proposal, objection handling, negotiation, and close. - Maintain consistent follow-up with prospects and establish clear next steps throughout the sales process. - Manage multiple sales opportunities at different stages without losing momentum or follow-through. - Maintain accurate and timely records of prospecting activity, meetings, opportunities, proposals, next steps, and forecasts in the company CRM. - Monitor pipeline coverage and take proactive action when additional prospecting is needed. - Provide accurate sales forecasts and communicate potential risks or delays. - Collaborate with internal operations and account-management teams to ensure an organized handoff and successful onboarding of new clients. - Gather competitive intelligence and stay informed about market conditions within the assigned territory. - Represent City Wide Facility Solutions professionally at business events, association meetings, networking functions, and community activities when appropriate.
