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'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.

Location: New York City Hybrid Who we are MediaRadar, equips marketing, sales and analytics leaders with the intelligence they need to stay ahead. Our platform delivers always-on, AI-enabled Creative, Competitive, Commercial and Market Intelligence—spanning ad strategy, media spend, creative assets and brand messaging across 30+ media channels and five million brands. With deep insights into more than 35 million ad and campaign assets and $280 billion in media spend, MediaRadar provides a single, interoperable source of truth that plugs seamlessly into enterprise analytics and AI systems. The result: faster, cleaner and more actionable intelligence that drives competitive advantage. The Opportunity We are looking for a driven Sales Executive to build and close their own pipeline of new business with true, uncapped upside. In this role, your focus is hunting for new logos across companies that depend on ad data and market intelligence. Once a deal closes, you’ll hand it off to our Account Management team for onboarding and growth, so you can stay focused on landing the next logo. To hit the ground running, you should have a solid track record selling SaaS, data, or market intelligence. Beyond the CV, we want someone who is naturally curious, commercially quick, and motivated by selling a product that actually delivers value. If you love the thrill of the deal and want an environment where your earnings directly reflect the deals you close, you’ll thrive here. Requirements We are looking for self-starters who are energized by closing deals, motivated by working for a great product, and eager to drive their own earnings. To succeed in this role, you bring: - Proven Sales Track Record: 2-4+ years as a quota-carrying individual contributor who has led the full, end-to-end sales cycle, from prospecting and discovery through demo, negotiation, and close, with a documented history of hitting and exceeding your numbers. - Relevant Domain Experience: Solid background selling SaaS, data, or market intelligence solutions. Experience selling into publishing, adtech, brands, or agencies is a plus, but not required. - Executive Presence: Comfortable engaging, pitching, and holding the attention of VPs, marketing/revenue leaders, and C-suite decision-makers. - Pipeline Ownership: Highly persistent self-starter who would rather build pipeline than wait for it, taking deals from cold prospect through to closed-won. - Outbound Proven: Comfortable with daily cold calling and prospecting, with a track record of booking your own meetings. - Strong Demo Skills: Confident leading live software demos and tailoring them to different audiences, from analysts to the C-suite. - Closer’s Instinct: Experience negotiating and closing new-business SaaS or data deals, with a history of exceeding quota. - Commercial Sharpness: Naturally curious, quick to learn what drives a buyer’s business model, and able to tailor compelling value propositions. - Integrity & Team Spirit: Forecasts honestly (knowing real pipeline beats an inflated one) and wins alongside the team rather than at its expense. What You'll Do - Own the new-business cycle: Prospect, run discovery, deliver tailored demos, negotiate, and close. Every deal is yours from first touch to signature. - Build your own pipeline: Run high-volume, targeted outbound across calls, email, LinkedIn, and events. You create the majority of your own opportunities. - Engage key decision-makers: Connect directly with marketing, strategy, and revenue leaders up to the C-suite. - Tell a great story: Show prospects clearly why MediaRadar outperforms competitor options. - Deliver compelling demos: Run engaging, live product demos tailored to each buyer’s goals, showing exactly how MediaRadar drives value for their business. - Close with urgency: Handle objections, negotiate commercial terms, and drive deals to signature on a predictable timeline. - Hit and beat your number: Exceed your new-business revenue and pipeline-generation targets and enjoy the uncapped rewards that follow. - Make the team better: Share winning strategies, collaborate with peers, and help elevate team performance. Why You’ll Love Working Here We take our culture seriously. When someone closes a deal, the whole team knows about it—wins are loudly celebrated, heavily rewarded, and shared by everyone. We back our people with no artificial glass ceilings. We actively invest in your coaching, development, and long-term career goals.
