The job
- What you'd do
- Win over family doctors, bone and joint specialists and clinics across Germany so they prescribe Kaia's digital therapy for back pain, then keep growing their prescriptions. Most of your leads will be warm, with some cold outreach.
- What you'd sell
AI care program for employees' physical and mental health
When a company wants its workers to get help with sore backs or stress, they usually send them to in-person appointments and waiting rooms. The problem is, those appointments and waiting rooms keep people from getting the care they need. Sword Health runs a 24/7 AI care program covering physical therapy, mental health care, and nutrition, so people can get help without those barriers.

The Braun Read
Ask hard questionsToo much is left unsaid. Make them answer before you invest.
- Pay
- Base is listed but not OTE. Ask what the variable is and how many people hit it.
- Transparency
- Says nothing about quota, attainment, deal size, territory or sales cycle.
- Time on market
- Open 25 days. Normal, but not fresh.
- Company hiring
- 3 sales roles open, hiring at a steady pace.
Red lights

Yellow lights
- German required. The posting asks for fluent German. Worth knowing before you apply if you only sell in English.

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 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.
What's the OTE, and what did the median rep earn last year?
Base is what you're guaranteed. OTE and the median show the upside.
- 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.
How long is ramp, and what's the quota during it?
Full quota on day one means you start behind.
- 5.
Is the territory new or existing? Who had it before?
An existing book is a head start. Greenfield means building from zero.
- 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.
