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?”

What Maven AGI sells

AI agents that fix customer account problems

Support teams spend long days answering the same customer questions and fixing account problems by hand. Maven AGI makes AI agents that chat with customers, look into their accounts, and fix the problem themselves. The customer's issue gets solved without a person having to step in.

Pipeline
Mostly self-sourced. Great if you like outbound, rough if you don't.

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's the OTE, and what did the median rep earn last year?

    Base is what you're guaranteed. OTE and the median show the upside.

  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.

Company Overview: Maven AGI sits at the center of the hottest intersection in tech right now: AI and customer experience. While most "AI support" tools still focus on FAQs and deflection, Maven's agents actually do the work — autonomously interacting with customers, personalizing the conversation, and resolving complex issues, not just providing information. That's not a soft ROI story. It's the most direct cost-displacement case in enterprise software today: real human work, replaced, at a fraction of the cost — not "savings if you use it well," but savings because the agent did the ticket instead of a person. That's the pitch you get to walk into every enterprise deal with. Founded in 2023 by executives from HubSpot, Google, and Stripe, Maven builds conversational AI agents that don't just answer customers — they act: going into a customer's account, finding the actual problem, and fixing it, with no human required. Customers like Dell, ServPro, HardRock, Tripadvisor, Clio, and Thumbtack rely on Maven, with independently verified results — customers report resolving 70–93% of interactions autonomously — and G2 has named Maven a High Performer and Best Meets Requirements across multiple categories this spring. Position Overview: As a Sales Development Representative (SDR) at Maven AGI, you will play a crucial role in expanding our reach and generating new business opportunities. You’ll be responsible for identifying, engaging, and qualifying potential clients, setting the foundation for strong customer relationships. The ideal candidate is proactive, results-oriented, and possesses a strong ability to articulate Maven AGI’s value proposition to diverse audiences. *This role is in office 5 days per week at our Back Bay office — ideal for someone who thrives on high energy and real-time deal celebrations! What You’ll Do: - Conduct market research to identify potential clients and qualify inbound and outbound leads through targeted outreach strategies. - Initiate contact with prospects via phone, email, and social media to introduce Maven AGI’s solutions, engage key decision-makers, and nurture relationships. - Assess prospect needs, challenges, and fit to accurately qualify leads and ensure they align with Maven AGI’s target market and capabilities. - Work closely with Account Executives and Sales Managers to pass qualified leads and contribute to closing sales. - Maintain accurate and up-to-date records in our CRM, tracking lead interactions and progress. - Meet or exceed monthly and quarterly targets for lead generation, meetings booked, and opportunities qualified. Who You Are: - 1–3 years of experience in an SDR, BDR, or similar sales role, preferably in a SaaS or technology environment. - Proven experience in cold calling and lead generation. - Familiarity with technical concepts, including API integrations and data ingestion processes. - Strong communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills. - Self-motivated with a drive to succeed and a passion for AI and technology. - Experience with CRM software (such as Salesforce) and sales automation tools. - Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, or a related field. - Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment. Growth Opportunities: At Maven AGI, we are committed to investing in our team members’ growth. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals who are looking to advance quickly within our sales organization and take on greater responsibilities as we expand.
