The job
- What you'd do
- Reach out to businesses and developers who might use Vultr's cloud computing services, building relationships as a first step toward a full sales role.
- 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.

The Braun Read
Proceed with cautionA 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 12 days.
- 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.
- Pay. No pay listed at all.
Green lights
None spotted.
Based only on what the posting says. Lights are a starting point for your first call, not a final judgment.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

More on this1 Is the job worth it?
Proceed with caution. A few things here deserve a hard look before you spend time on it.
- Big earnings claims, no numbers
- No pay listed at all.
Might be worth asking about these before you spend an hour on a tailored résumé.
