The Braun Read

Worth a look

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

Pay
Base is listed but not OTE. Ask what the variable is and how many people hit it.
Transparency
Shares 1 of 5: quota, attainment, deal size, territory, sales cycle.
Pipeline
Mostly self-sourced. Great if you like outbound, rough if you don't.
Time on market
Open 5 days.
Company hiring
This is their only open sales role.

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

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

  3. 3.

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

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

  4. 4.

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

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

  5. 5.

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

    Full quota on day one means you start behind.

  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.
