The Braun Read

Proceed with caution

A few things here deserve a hard look before you spend time on it.

Pay
Base and OTE both listed. Roughly a 45/55 base-to-variable split.
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 296 days. Ask why it's been hard to fill.
Company hiring
3 sales roles open, hiring at a steady pace.

Red lights

  • Heavy call quotas. It sets a daily dial or activity number. Expect to be managed on activity, not outcomes.
  • Most of the pay is variable. OTE is more than double the base. You only make the big number if you hit quota.

Yellow lights

  • Open 90+ days. This role has been posted for three months or more. Ask why it's been hard to fill, and whether anyone left it.

Green lights

  • Publishes OTE. It tells you the on-target earnings up front. Most postings don't.

Based only on what the posting says. Lights are a starting point for your first call, not a final judgment.

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.

    Is the daily activity number a hard requirement, or a guide? What happens if you miss it?

    Tells you if you'll be judged on deals or on dials.

  2. 2.

    What percent of the variable did reps actually earn last year?

    When most of the pay is variable, this is your real salary.

  3. 3.

    This role has been open a while. What's made it hard to fill?

    The answer tells you what candidates saw that made them walk.

  4. 4.

    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.

  5. 5.

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

    Tenure shows whether people stay long enough to get paid.

  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.
