Why it matters: OTE tells you what you could earn. Attainment tells you how realistic it is.

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

The job

What you'd do
Look after a short list of big customers, selling them more software and winning new deals within them. You'll find many of your own leads, including by cold calling. Based in Munich, remote possible in Germany.
What you'd sell

Mobile sales tools that prep reps and engage buyers

When a sales team needs its reps ready for a customer meeting, there is a lot of material to get right. The problem is, getting a rep prepared takes time that could go to talking with buyers. Showpad makes a mobile tool that helps teams prepare their sellers, engage buyers, and drive steady sales, so reps walk into meetings ready.

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.
Time on market
Open 89 days. Ask why it's been hard to fill.
Company hiring
Pulling back: closed 4 sales roles in 30 days and posted 1. Ask what changed.

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.

    I noticed fewer open sales roles lately. What changed?

    Fewer openings can mean cuts. Better to hear it now.

  2. 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. 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. 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. 5.

    Who sits with reps and reviews calls each week?

    Coaching is often what's behind a good or bad attainment number.

  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.
