The Braun Read

Ask hard questions

Too 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 228+ days. Ask why it's been hard to fill.
Company hiring
Ramping up: posted 11 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.
