Why it matters: OTE tells you what you could earn. Attainment tells you how realistic it is.

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

What Crexi sells

Market data to judge commercial property deals

Commercial real estate deals still get done over email threads, PDFs, and relationships nobody can search for. Crexi Intelligence is Crexi's market data and analytics product, built for investors, developers, and lenders. With it, those buyers can underwrite deals, assess valuations, and track market trends.

The Braun Read

Ask hard questions

Pipeline
Mostly self-sourced. Great if you like outbound, rough if you don't.
Time on market
Open 285 days. Ask why it's been hard to fill.
Company hiring

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.

    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.

  2. 2.

    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.

  3. 3.

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

    Tenure shows whether people stay long enough to get paid.

  4. 4.

    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.

  5. 5.

    Who sits with reps and reviews calls each week?

    Coaching is often what's behind a good or bad attainment number.

  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 Crexi Commercial real estate is one of the largest asset classes on earth and one of the last to go digital. Deals still get done over email threads, PDFs, and relationships nobody can search for. Crexi is the exchange betting that doesn't have to be true anymore: we're building the platform where an entire industry finds, evaluates, and closes deals, and we're betting hard on AI to get there faster than anyone thought this industry could move. There's no playbook for turning a trillion-dollar, relationship-driven industry into a modern marketplace which means the people building it get to write it. About This Role: The Account Executive, Data Sales is a quota-carrying inside sales role responsible for driving new revenue for Crexi Intelligence, our market data and analytics product for commercial real estate. Working from a high-velocity outbound motion, the AE prospects, demos, negotiates, and closes new business with investors, developers, appraisers, assessors, lenders, retailers, and other data-driven buyers. Success in this role is measured by consistent attainment of monthly revenue targets, disciplined pipeline management, and the ability to translate Crexi Intelligence’s analytical value into outcomes that matter to each buyer’s workflow. The AE is a self-starter who thrives on cold calls, owns the full sales cycle end-to-end, and is encouraged to develop and refine the playbook as the product and market evolve. What You’ll Do: - Own the full sales cycle — from outbound prospecting and cold calling through demo, negotiation, and close. - Run high-volume outbound to commercial real estate investors, developers, appraisers, assessors, retailers, lenders, and other data-driven buyers who rely on market intelligence to make decisions. - Deliver compelling, tailored demos of Crexi Intelligence that speak directly to each buyer’s analytical workflows — whether they’re underwriting deals, assessing valuations, or tracking market trends. - Negotiate and close new paid accounts, consistently hitting and exceeding monthly revenue targets. - Build and manage your pipeline with rigor, keeping CRM (Salesforce) data accurate and up to date. - Represent Crexi at industry events and conferences as a brand ambassador in your region. - Partner with Revenue Operations and Business Intelligence to refine targeting and prioritize the highest-propensity accounts within the demand audience. - Provide structured customer and prospect feedback to the product team to inform Crexi Intelligence’s roadmap and positioning. - Contribute to team strategy and playbook development to support attainment of individual and team quotas. - Maintain deep knowledge of Crexi Intelligence’s value proposition, the broader CRE data landscape, and prevailing industry trends. - Performs other duties as assigned. Qualifications: - Bachelor’s Degree preferred or equivalent experience in a sales organization. - 3+ years of sales experience, with a track record of meeting or exceeding quota or lead targets. - Commercial Real Estate background or work experience (preferred, not required). - Proficiency with Salesforce preferred. - Cold-calling experience is a must. Who You Are: - Excellent customer-facing, sales, and negotiation skills, with a track record of consistently hitting quota in an outbound, high-velocity environment. - Strong working knowledge of the commercial real estate demand audience — investors, developers, appraisers, assessors, lenders, retailers — and how each persona uses market data to make decisions. - Proven ability to run discovery, deliver tailored product demos, handle objections, and close new business over the phone and on video. - Disciplined approach to pipeline management, forecasting, and CRM hygiene; treats Salesforce data as a source of truth, not an afterthought. - Intermediate to advanced proficiency with Microsoft Office, Outlook, Salesforce, and Outreach (or comparable sales engagement platform). - Comfort using AI-assisted tools (e.g., for prospect research, call prep, email drafting, and account intelligence) to increase outbound throughput and personalization. - Clear, concise, detail-oriented verbal and written communication; able to translate data and analytics concepts into business value for non-technical buyers. - Creative problem-solver with strong analytical instincts and genuine curiosity about CRE markets, capital flows, and valuation drivers. - Strong work ethic, coachability, and openness to constructive feedback; eager to refine pitch, process, and playbook over time. - Able to work effectively and professionally with colleagues at all levels in an open, fast‑paced sales floor environment. Why Crexi? - Real impact, fast. Join a rapidly scaling startup where your work moves the needle from day one. - Real ownership. Equity in Crexi's growth story. - Built for growth. A flexible team structure designed for real career discretion. - Time that is yours. Discretionary PTO - take what you need, when you need it. - Health & Future covered. Medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k), FSA/HSA options, and Life & AD&D insurance. - Set up right. Home-office reimbursement for remote employees. - A winning team. A collaborative culture with team activities that bring people together. The California base pay range for this position is $75,000 to $85,000 per year with eligibility for generous commissions, equity, and healthcare insurance. The total compensation package offered to a successful candidate will depend on several factors, which may include, but are not limited to, the type and length of experience applicable to the role and within the industry, job-related skills, job level, and geographic location.
