Ask hard questions

Too much is left unsaid. Make them answer before you invest.

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 63 days. Ask why it's been hard to fill.
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 are the base and the OTE for this role?

    No point investing hours before you know the number.

  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.

Full posting
About REV Copack REV Copack is a beverage co-packing and fulfillment partner built for speed. From our 124,000-square-foot facility in Pittston, PA, we handle secondary packaging, variety-pack assembly, kitting, and fulfillment for some of the fastest-growing brands in the beverage aisle, running up to 500,000 cases a month. Brands come to us to launch in club stores, scale wholesale, and move fast on Amazon. We're a startup, and we move like one. Things change fast, priorities shift, and the people who thrive here are the ones who take ownership, figure it out without a playbook, and would rather build the process than wait for one. If you do your best work in fast-moving environments and want a real hand in shaping what we become, we'd like to meet you. Job Summary We're hiring a remote Business Development Manager to drive net-new revenue as REV Copack scales. This is a full-cycle sales role: you'll help source pipeline, run discovery, partner with production on pricing, negotiate contracts, close new brand clients, and shepherd them through onboarding to their first successful production run. You'll own a book of business and report directly to the VP of Sales, with real influence over the playbook, the tools, and the process. If you're a gritty, self-motivated hunter who wants to build, this is for you. This is a remote position requiring frequent visits to REV Copack’s Pittston, PA facility and approximately 20–30% regional travel for customer meetings, site visits, and industry events. What You'll Do - Hunt & Build Pipeline: Identify and pursue new beverage-brand and co-packer opportunities, prospect across email, phone, and in person, and keep your pipeline full. - Own the Deal to Close: Work every opportunity through the full cycle: discovery, feasibility and quoting with our production team, negotiation, and close. - Onboard & Launch New Accounts: Walk new brands through our onboarding process, gather what we need to run their product, and make their first production a five star experience. - Grow & Protect your Book: Stay your accounts' point of contact after the sale. Keep communication tight and proactive, act as the liaison between the customer and our plant floor, and look for room to expand accounts. Requirements Key Responsibilities - Own the full sales cycle, from first touch to closed-won to a live first production run - Build pipeline through disciplined outbound: cold calling, cold email, LinkedIn, and signal-based prospecting (brands raising capital, expanding into retail, or launching new products) - Run discovery to understand each brand's volume, packaging, timeline, and decision process - Partner with the production team to scope feasibility and build accurate, margin-healthy quotes - Negotiate pricing and contracts to close — protecting profitability, not just top-line volume - Onboard new clients and coordinate a smooth handoff to production for a successful first run - Grow existing accounts by expanding SKUs and volume over time - Continuously sharpen your outbound scripts, sequences, and systems, and keep a clean pipeline and forecast in the CRM - Present your pipeline and forecast in a weekly sales review with the VP of Sales - Represent REV at industry events (e.g., BevNET Live, Expo West) and on-site client visits (~20% regional travel) What You Bring - 3–7+ years of B2B sales experience, ideally full-cycle (you've carried a quota and closed your own deals) - Background selling into or within CPG, food & beverage, packaging, ingredients, or contract manufacturing, beverage, co-packing, or co-manufacturing experience strongly preferred - A track record of building pipeline from scratch and hitting or exceeding targets - Comfortable owning a quota and closing five- and six-figure annual production programs - Comfort with consultative, technical, and margin-sensitive pricing conversations - Fluency with CRM and modern outbound tools (e.g., Apollo, Clay, Instantly, LinkedIn Sales Navigator) - Strong communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills - Existing relationships with beverage brands, founders, or procurement/ops teams a strong plus - Valid driver's license and willingness to travel ~20% regionally, limited national travel - Bonus: familiarity with beverage production economics and jargon - No specific degree required, we hire for track record, hustle, and results, not credentials Who Thrives Here Our best people are gritty, hardworking, and self-motivated. They're comfortable with autonomy and ambiguity, energized by owning a number, and resilient through cold outreach and long sales cycles. They have a builder's mentality, they'd rather create the playbook than run someone else's, and they're as coachable as they are competitive. Benefits Compensation & What We Offer - Competitive base salary plus strong commission structure that rewards profitable, margin-healthy deals, not just volume - A ground-floor role with a clear path to Senior BDM and Strategic BDM as we scale the team - Direct access to leadership and genuine influence on how we build the commercial engine - Travel and business expenses covered REV Copack is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
