The job

What you'd do

Lead store salespeople across Kansas City, Kansas, visiting each store weekly to coach and hire. You'll also sell to shoppers yourself each week and cover shifts when needed.

What you'd sell

Gets hotels and senior homes connected to internet and TV

When a hotel or senior living home wants internet and TV, there are many providers and plans to sort through. The problem is, the wrong setup means slow Wi-Fi and unhappy guests, and customers notice. DSI matches each property with the right video, internet, and phone service, then handles the contract and setup, so it gets connected with less hassle.

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.
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.
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.
3.
Who's the economic buyer, and who else is in the deal?
Selling to a CFO and selling to a developer are different jobs.
4.
What's the annual quota, and how was it set?
A quota built from real data is a target. Otherwise it's a hope.
5.
How long is ramp, and what's the quota during it?

Why I built it this way ↓

Most résumé tools try to make you look like a match. I'd rather help you find out if you are one.

Nothing made up.
Nothing goes on your résumé that you didn't do. If a line would need a number you didn't give me, I ask. I don't guess. On Braun Board it's checked in code, not just promised.
Curiosity before conclusions.
If the job wants something your résumé doesn't show, I ask before I assume. Plenty of sellers have done the thing and just never wrote it down.
Sorting, not selling.
Some jobs won't line up with what you've done. Finding that out before you apply isn't a loss. It's an hour back, spent on a job that fits.
No score.
A match score tells you how well you copied their words. It doesn't tell you whether you'd be good at the job, or happy there.

It's the same way I teach selling. We don't control who says yes. We do control where we spend our time, and whether everything we say is true.
