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

What Peec AI sells

Shows brands where they appear in AI answers

People now ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Google's AI Overviews which products to buy, and most brands have no idea if they show up in those answers. Peec AI gives marketing teams data on how visible their brand is across these tools and how it compares to competitors. Now they can see where they stand and where to win.

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 annual quota, and how was it set?

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

  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 PEEC AI Peec AI is the analytics platform for AI search. People increasingly discover products and make buying decisions through ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Google's AI Overviews instead of traditional search, and most brands have no idea where they show up in those answers. Peec gives marketing, SEO, and growth teams the data to see exactly that: how visible their brand is across AI platforms, how they compare to competitors, and where to win. We are defining this category, and the market is moving with us. Peec is a Series A company backed by 20VC and Singular, that went from $0 to $15M ARR in 18 months, with a 100+ person team across our Berlin HQ and our New York office. ABOUT THE ROLE We're hiring a Mid-Market Account Executive in New York to own our larger deals across North America. You'll sell to marketing, SEO, and growth leaders who are watching their organic traffic get absorbed by AI answers and need to show their own leadership what to do about it. Your job is to build that case with them. You'll build your own pipeline into named accounts, work with the SDR team on coverage, and run the full cycle from there. We are defining the category, so part of the job is teaching the market what good looks like, not waiting for a buyer who already knows they need this. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own and run the full sales cycle from first meeting to close across mid-market accounts in North America - Generate your own pipeline into named accounts, and partner with SDRs and Marketing on targeted outbound and ABM across the patch - Multi-thread across marketing, SEO, growth, and procurement stakeholders, and build the business case that gets a deal signed - Keep your CRM clean and your forecast honest, with a strong handle on deal progression - Build lasting relationships with your customers and spot expansion opportunities as their AI search programs grow - Feed what you learn on calls back into product, marketing, and the sales playbook. At this stage, your input shapes how we sell. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 4+ years in a quota-carrying software sales role, closing mid-market deals end to end - A consistent track record of overachievement against quota - A builder of your own pipeline: you can point to closed deals that started with your own prospecting, not a lead that landed in your inbox - Experience running multi-stakeholder deals, including building business cases and navigating procurement - Sharp communication and a natural ability to tell the story of a new category simply - Comfortable selling in a category that is still being defined, where you shape the buyer's thinking rather than respond to an existing budget line BONUS POINTS - Repeatedly achieving President's Club - Experience selling SEO, analytics, or martech software - Experience in a high-growth, venture-backed startup environment - A track record of selling to marketing, SEO, or growth buyers - You already know what GEO and AEO stand for. WHAT WE OFFER - Transparent comp with a 50/50 base to variable split, plus equity - Comprehensive benefits package - Collaborative, high-energy in-office work environment - Opportunity to make a significant impact and define a new market category EEOC STATEMENT Peec AI is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
