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.

Capabilities & Competencies - Opens doors quickly with C-level executives across operations, engineering, capital projects and IT who set strategy and approve major investments, earning credibility in early conversations and sustaining relationships between opportunities. - Sells consultatively, framing value around business outcomes and positioning ReVisionz as a trusted, software-agnostic advisor and systems integrator. - Navigates complex enterprise buying organizations, including executive committees, maintaining momentum across 6–18 month sales cycles. - Negotiates pricing, scope and commercial terms for time-and-materials and fixed-fee services work, supported by sales leadership and corporate administration, while protecting both margin and the client relationship. - Learns new solutions rapidly and connects them to each client’s priorities in clear, executive-level language, from a first conversation to a formal presentation. Requirements Qualifications & Experience - Bachelor’s degree in engineering, business or a related field, or equivalent experience. - 15+ years in business development, sales, consulting or senior operations, engineering or capital project roles where success depended on building client relationships and advancing high-value solutions. - An established network at owner-operators in industries such as oil & gas, chemicals, mining, power generation, food & beverage, manufacturing or industrial construction, including contacts who set strategy and approve major investments, such as C-level executives. - A record of opening new accounts and securing enterprise programs and multi-year client relationships. - Familiarity with industry priorities such as digital transformation, operational excellence, capital project execution, engineering and asset information, intelligent asset management, and data and AI. - Proficiency with Microsoft Office, CRM tools and commercial AI tools. What You Bring - A genuine love of meeting people and getting to know them, with the drive to keep the funnel full. - Persistence through long sales cycles, paired with the judgment to know when to walk away. - An entrepreneurial ownership mindset that treats the growth of ReVisionz as a personal commitment.
