The job

What you'd do

Phone business leaders across many industries to start new sales conversations, mostly by cold calling. You'll ask what they need and find most of your own leads.

What you'd sell

Calls business leaders to set up sales talks for other companies

When a business wants new customers, someone has to find and call the people who might buy. The problem is, cold calling takes a huge number of calls, and it's easy for a sales team to fall behind. EngageTech puts trained sellers on that calling for its clients and books conversations with business leaders, so the client gets more real sales talks without building that team itself.

Mostly you. Expect a lot of outbound: cold calls, emails and LinkedIn.

The Braun Read

Proceed with caution

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

Pay: No pay listed at all.
Transparency: Says nothing about quota, attainment, deal size, territory or sales cycle. Ask about all five.
Time on market: Open 364 days. Ask why it's been hard to fill.
Company hiring: 7 sales roles open, hiring at a steady pace.

Red lights

Big earnings claims, no numbers. It sells uncapped or unlimited earnings but never says what anyone actually earns.

Fluent German required. The posting asks for fluent or business-level German. Worth knowing before you apply if you only sell in English.

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 did the median rep and the top rep actually earn last year?
"Unlimited" is a ceiling, not a number. You need the median.
2.
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.
3.
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.
4.
What percentage of reps on the team have been here more than 18 months?
Tenure shows whether people stay long enough to get paid.
5.

Before You Apply

Find out where you fit, and where you don't, before you hit submit.

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.
