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

The Braun Read

Worth a look

Solid on the basics. Use the first call to fill in the gaps.

Pay
Base and OTE both listed. Roughly a 56/44 base-to-variable split.
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 31 days. Normal, but not fresh.
Company hiring
This is their only open sales role.

Red lights

None spotted.

Green lights

  • Publishes OTE. It tells you the on-target earnings up front. Most postings don't.
  • Pays accelerators. Higher commission rates once you pass quota. Overperformance actually pays.

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. 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. 2.

    What's the annual quota, and how was it set?

    A quota built from real data is a target. Otherwise it's a hope.

  3. 3.

    What share of last year's closed deals did reps source themselves?

    Shows how much pipeline you'll have to build on your own.

  4. 4.

    How long is ramp, and what's the quota during it?

    Full quota on day one means you start behind.

  5. 5.

    Is the territory new or existing? Who had it before?

    An existing book is a head start. Greenfield means building from zero.

  6. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Full posting
The Opportunity Intellibright has spent 16+ years building something most agencies can't claim: proprietary revenue analytics that connect marketing spend directly to pipeline, sales, and revenue. Our clients stay because we prove what their marketing produces. Now we need someone to put that story in front of bigger rooms. This is a rare seat. You will be Intellibright's sales function: no inherited team, no legacy process to work around, no one else's pipeline to clean up. You own new business end to end, from targeting and outreach through the pitch, the close, and the handoff. As the business grows, you build the support team you want, the way you want it. You'll have a direct line to the CEO at any time. Decisions happen in the same meeting they're raised, and action starts immediately. No committees, no approval chains. If you've been the reason a company's client roster leveled up, and you want a plan that pays you like it, this is where you do it again. This is a great opportunity for a hungry, proven seller who is ready to step into a VP role. If you have been the top producer who outgrew the job, here you get the title, the authority, and a plan that pays for what you build. The Mission Land the mid-market and enterprise accounts that change Intellibright's trajectory. Winning means our average new client is materially larger than it is today, new business is predictable instead of lumpy, and the sales engine runs on a system you built. What You'll Have Behind You - Defined ideal client profiles. We know who we serve best. You start with a clear target, not a blank page. - Audits that sell. Our analysts produce detailed pre-sale audits of a prospect's marketing and revenue performance. The findings are often what wins the deal, and they're yours to use. - Fast sales support. Proposals, case studies, and pitch materials turned around quickly by a team that treats your requests as a priority. - A product that differentiates. Revenue analytics give you a story competitors can't tell. - A delivery team built to retain. Senior strategists who are compensated to hold and grow the accounts you land, so your wins stick. - Your First 6 Months - Days 1 to 60: Absorb our ideal client profiles and pressure-test them against your network and the market. Take ownership of all inbound and outbound lead flow. Build your target account list. - By Month 3: Launch a documented sales process in HubSpot with defined stages, forecast cadence, and a proposal standard. Build the sales-to-delivery handoff with our strategist team. Define your first support hire and when you'll need it. - By Month 6: Reach $2.5M+ in sales-qualified pipeline (SQLs). Close at least one new client at $200K+ in first-year value. Why Intellibright Recognized by the Financial Times as one of the fastest-growing companies in the Americas six years running. Profitable and self-funded for more than 16 years. A performance-focused agency built on accountability and close client partnerships. This is not a role for someone who wants to manage a territory someone else built. It's for someone who wants to build the engine, own the number, and get paid for what they create. Requirements What We're Looking For - 10+ years in B2B sales, with at least 5 years selling agency or professional services at a senior level - A track record of personally originating and closing six-figure retainer relationships, with references to back it up - Experience selling performance marketing, analytics, or revenue-focused services to C-level buyers - Experience building and leading a sales team - Fluency in HubSpot or a comparable CRM and real belief in pipeline discipline - An existing network in mid-market and enterprise marketing leadership is a strong plus How You Work - Enterprise origination. You create opportunities, not just convert them, with a network and a method for opening doors at companies investing $100K+ a year in agency services. - Multi-stakeholder selling. You navigate buying committees of CMOs, CFOs, and CEOs, and you sell revenue outcomes to finance, not just channel tactics to marketing. - Commercial judgment. You qualify hard, scope honestly, and walk away from deals that would be bad for the business. - System builder. You treat the CRM as the source of truth and build forecastable pipeline and a repeatable proposal process. - Team builder. You know what support a senior seller actually needs, and you hire it when volume justifies it.
