Why it matters: OTE tells you what you could earn. Attainment tells you how realistic it is.

Ask: “What percentage of fully ramped reps hit quota last year?”

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 percentage of reps on the team have been here more than 18 months?

    Tenure shows whether people stay long enough to get paid.

  3. 3.

    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.

  4. 4.

    Who sits with reps and reviews calls each week?

    Coaching is often what's behind a good or bad attainment number.

  5. 5.

    What are the base and the OTE for this role?

    No point investing hours before you know the number.

  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.

About IntelliShift IntelliShift is a fleet intelligence platform on a mission to create a safer, smarter tomorrow for the fleets that move the world. We bring telematics, AI dash cams, maintenance, compliance, and safety together in one connected platform — built for fleet people, by fleet people. And we’re always thinking about what comes next. About the Role This is a new business role built for hunters. You’ll target the sweet spot of our market: high-value fleet accounts where deal sizes are substantial, complexity varies, and the growth opportunity is massive. You’ll chase $100K+ ARR opportunities, win competitive cycles, and build a book of business you’re proud of. You’ll run the full cycle and own your territory end to end, working with a dedicated Account Development Rep (ADR) and with Marketing to reach fleet operators across transportation, food and beverage delivery, utilities, field service, and more. This role sits on our New Business Sales team, reporting to our VP of Sales. What You'll Do - Own your territory. Run full-cycle sales end to end — strategic outbound, multi-stakeholder discovery, and executive-level close — targeting fleet operators across transportation, food and beverage delivery, utilities, field service, and more. - Build to win. Develop relationships with the decision-makers, operations leaders, and safety executives who actually move deals forward. - Co-sell smart. Partner with your dedicated ADR on territory strategy and pipeline. They’re a resource, not a relay. - Know your customer. Research each prospect’s business goals, operational challenges, and fleet pain points before you ever ask for a meeting. - Forecast with conviction. Give leadership accurate, timely pipeline and forecast data. No sandbagging, no surprises. - Go to market. Execute sales plans, field events, and campaigns with precision, and use your industry presence and social channels to expand your reach in target verticals. - Move the platform forward. Work with Marketing on collateral and value messaging that reflects what’s actually resonating in the field. - Hit the number. Deliver consistently against quarterly ARR targets, with a focus on high-value, multi-year contracts. What You’ll Bring Must-haves - Several years of full-cycle B2B SaaS sales experience, with a track record of hitting or beating quota — ideally in new business. - Experience closing complex, multi-stakeholder deals at the $100K+ ARR level, or comparable. - Strong outbound and prospecting skills — you build pipeline, you don’t wait for it. - Comfort selling to operations, safety, and executive buyers with a consultative, value-based approach. - Disciplined pipeline and forecasting habits, and clear, confident communication. Nice-to-haves - Experience in fleet, telematics, video safety, or another hardware-attached SaaS category. - Experience selling into transportation, food and beverage, utilities, or field service. - Experience working with an ADR or SDR in a co-sell motion. The Values You’ll Live By Our five core values aren’t posters on a wall — they show up in how we work every day. In this role, that looks like: - Customer-Obsessed — You keep customers at the center of your decisions, because when they win, we win. - No-Box Innovation — You bring bold ideas and help build what hasn’t been built before. - Growth through Friction — You treat friction as a signal, challenge what’s inefficient, and push for something better. - Trust through Action — You lead with transparency and let your follow-through do the talking. - Own It — You take accountability for outcomes and make a positive difference wherever you can. How We Measure Success - New business ARR. Consistent delivery against your quarterly quota, with a focus on high-value, multi-year contracts. - A strong pipeline. A healthy, well-qualified pipeline you build through outbound and smart territory planning. - Competitive wins. A solid win rate in competitive cycles. - Reliable forecasting. Accurate, on-time forecasts leadership can count on. Why Join Our Team We’re a company that bought itself back and bet on its own future. That means the work here is real, decisions move fast, and the people who own outcomes get to shape what comes next. You’ll work alongside fleet experts who genuinely care about the customers we serve, in a place where good ideas win no matter where they come from. - A large, underpenetrated market and real room to build a book of business. - A dedicated ADR and a marketing team invested in your territory’s success. - Real commission upside and the autonomy to run your territory your way.
