The job
- What you'd do
- Train and coach EarthCam's sales team, build new-hire onboarding, and lead the support staff who handle sales paperwork and tracking software. You won't carry a sales quota yourself.
- What you'd sell
Helps construction teams watch their jobsites live from anywhere
When a construction company has to keep a project on track, the people running it need to know what's happening on a site that may be miles away. The problem is, someone has to drive out in person to see progress, and theft or delays can go unnoticed for days. EarthCam puts webcams on jobsites that stream live video and record time-lapses, so the team can check progress and security from anywhere.

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 are the base and the OTE for this role?
No point investing hours before you know the number.
- 3.
What's the annual quota, and how was it set?
A quota built from real data is a target. Otherwise it's a hope.
- 4.
Where does pipeline come from: inbound, SDRs, or me?
Tells you how much of your week is prospecting versus selling.
- 5.
How long is ramp, and what's the quota during it?
Full quota on day one means you start behind.
- 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.
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.
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.
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.
