What you'd do: Entry-level role selling home remodeling (windows, doors) to homeowners via Costco promoter events and outside sales. Reps generate their own leads, with training and a path to outside sales.

Where deals come from: Mostly you. Expect a lot of outbound: cold calls, emails and LinkedIn.

The Braun Read

Proceed with caution

A few things here deserve a hard look before you spend time on it.

Pay: No pay listed at all.
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 18 days.
Company hiring: Ramping up: posted 5 sales roles in the last 30 days.

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.
What did the median rep and the top rep actually earn last year?
"Unlimited" is a ceiling, not a number. You need the median.
2.
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.
3.
What percentage of reps on the team have been here more than 18 months?
Tenure shows whether people stay long enough to get paid.
4.
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.
5.
Who sits with reps and reviews calls each week?
Coaching is often what's behind a good or bad attainment number.
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.
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.
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.
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.
