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 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.
Pipeline
A mix of self-sourced pipeline and inbound or SDR help.
Time on market
Open 216 days. Ask why it's been hard to fill.
Company hiring
3 sales roles open, hiring at a steady pace.

Red lights

  • "Unlimited earnings," no numbers. It sells uncapped or unlimited earnings but never says what anyone actually earns.

Yellow lights

  • Open 90+ days. This role has been posted for three months or more. Ask why it's been hard to fill, and whether anyone left it.

Green lights

  • SDR or inbound support. You won't be building all of your own pipeline from zero.

Based only on what the posting says. Lights are a starting point for your first call, not a final judgment.

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 did the median rep and the top rep actually earn last year?

    "Unlimited" is a ceiling, not a number. You need the median.

  2. 2.

    This role has been open a while. What's made it hard to fill?

    The answer tells you what candidates saw that made them walk.

  3. 3.

    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.

  4. 4.

    What percentage of reps on the team have been here more than 18 months?

    Tenure shows whether people stay long enough to get paid.

  5. 5.

    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.

  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.

However, we are not able to sponsor visas for this role.  About TCP (TimeClock Plus): For more than 30 years, TCP has helped organizations engage their people by providing flexible, mobile timekeeping and workforce management solutions. Trusted by tens of thousands of customers and millions of users, TCP delivers best-in-class technology and personalized support to organizations of all sizes in the public and private sector to meet their complex timekeeping, employee scheduling, leave management and other workforce needs. Growth is happening and our vision for a successful future is clear - We'd love for you to join us on this journey! For more information on TCP, visit www.tcpsoftware.com or follow us on LinkedIn or Facebook.  About this role: The Growth Account Executive owns a book of existing TCP customers and is responsible for finding and closing new revenue within it. This means identifying which customers can expand into additional products, departments, or locations, and running a full sales cycle to get there. You will carry a quota, build your own pipeline through outbound prospecting into your account base, and close deals. Customer Success manages renewals and adoption. You sell. If your experience is primarily renewals, health scores, or relationship management, this is not the right fit. If you have a track record of finding your own way into new departments, new stakeholders, and new opportunities inside existing accounts, keep reading. As a Growth Account Executive, you will: - Prospect into your assigned account base to identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities across new products, departments, and locations. - Run a full sales cycle from first outreach through close, including discovery, multi-stakeholder navigation, demos, proposals, and negotiation. - Achieve and exceed assigned sales revenue quota targeting the mid-market customer segment. - Build and maintain pipeline at 3x quota through self-generated outbound activity. - Conduct needs assessments across multiple customer groups (technical, line of business, and executive). - Connect customer business objectives to TCP capabilities, identifying gaps between current state and desired outcomes. - Maintain accurate, up-to-date account and opportunity records in Salesforce. - Forecast revenue weekly with discipline and precision. - Partner with Customer Success to stay informed on account health, while owning the expansion sales motion independently. - Complete a minimum of 25 prospecting calls per day. This is a daily minimum, not a weekly average. - Travel up to 25% Requirements Experience and Track Record - 2-3+ years of quota-carrying B2B sales experience with full-cycle ownership (prospecting to close). - Demonstrated experience finding and selling to new stakeholders inside an existing account base, not just maintaining existing relationships. - Consistent quota attainment with specific numbers you can speak to. - B2B background selling a considered purchase where deals required discovery, multiple conversations, and a defined sales process. SaaS or software is a plus; backgrounds in payroll services, HR consulting, staffing, or managed services transfer well. - Experience managing a high-volume account book and prioritizing outbound activity across it. Sales Methodology and Skills - Consultative selling approach with the ability to conduct discovery that uncovers business problems, not just technical requirements. - Ability to map product capabilities to business outcomes and build a clear value case. - Outbound prospecting skills. You have generated your own pipeline through cold outreach, not just worked inbound leads. - Strong written and verbal communication, including the ability to present to director and VP-level stakeholders. - Clear understanding of where expansion sales ends and Customer Success begins, with the ability to articulate that boundary. Deal Management - Familiarity with multi-stakeholder sales cycles where more than one decision-maker is involved. - Demonstrated pipeline hygiene and forecasting accuracy. - Consistent CRM use with detailed opportunity tracking. Salesforce experience preferred. - Familiarity with Salesforce, Gong, Outreach, and Clay is a plus. - Experience working with channel partners or navigating RFP processes is a plus. Coachability and Culture - Growth mindset and openness to feedback. - Accountability for results, including honest reflection on what went wrong. - Collaborative approach with Customer Success, Solutions Consultants, and internal stakeholders. - Resilience in a high-activity, metrics-driven environment. Physical Requirements: - Prolonged periods sitting at a desk and working on a computer. - Must be able to lift up to 15 pounds at times. - Travel up to 25%. Benefits - Competitive salary based on experience plus uncapped commissions - 20 days PTO and 13 days of companywide holidays - 8 hours to volunteer and impact your community - Comprehensive benefits (Health/Dental/Vision/401K) - The work/life set up you need to be successful.
