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?”

What Tennr sells

Handles insurance paperwork so patients get seen sooner

When a doctor refers a patient to a specialist, the patient often waits days, weeks, or even months. The doctor's office is buried in insurance paperwork. Tennr handles that paperwork so patients get through the door and the office gets paid. Patients get the right care sooner.

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

    Tenure shows whether people stay long enough to get paid.

  3. 3.

    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.

  4. 4.

    Who sits with reps and reviews calls each week?

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

  5. 5.

    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.

  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
COMPANY DESCRIPTION Today, when you go to your doctor and get referred to a specialist, your doctor sends out a referral and tells you, "They'll be in touch soon." So you wait. And wait. Sometimes days, weeks, or even months. Why? Because too often providers are overwhelmed with the painstakingly tedious work required to get paid by insurance companies. Powered by proprietary models, Tennr handles the complex paperwork that gets patients through the door and providers paid, helping operators get patients the right care, at the right time, in the right setting. ROLE DESCRIPTION As Manager of Channel Partnerships at Tennr, you will own pipeline generation through the activation of our signed partners. Tennr's business development team signs partners; you take the handoff and build the enablement, incentives, cadence, and systems that turn a contract into a qualified pipeline. You will build and scale partnerships in phases, starting with the most established base and expanding across additional channels over time. We're looking for a builder who has activated a channel before at a healthcare company and is energized by a partner base that is signed but not yet producing. RESPONSIBILITIES - Be the primary relationship owner with a growing book of signed partners. - Map partner networks to Tennr's ICP and identified target accounts so partners can effectively hunt in the verticals we care about, segmented by specialty and geography. - Partner with sales enablement and marketing to build playbooks and high-impact collateral for partners to use in market. - Run the cadence that keeps partners producing between deals: reviews, check-ins, communications, and the incentive programs behind them. - Stand up partner tooling and reporting, feed insight back to BD on which partners to sign more of, and extend the motion to new channels as we sign it. QUALIFICATIONS - Experience activating and scaling a signed partner or channel base at a growth-stage company. - Demonstrated success generating pipeline through partners, with clear ownership of a number. - Experience activating channels for a company selling into healthcare, with fluency in MSOs, GPOs, and EMRs. - Track record of designing or rebuilding a partner incentive program. - Proven expertise with key CRM/PRM tooling (SFDC, Crossbeam, etc.) - Strong executive presence across both startup and enterprise audiences - Entrepreneurial self-starter who operates with a high ownership mentality WHY TENNR? - Drive Impact: one of our company values is Cowboy, meaning you set the pace. You won’t just talk about things, you’ll get them done. And feel the impact. - Develop Operational Expertise: learn the inner workings of scaling systems, tools, and infrastructure. - Innovate with Purpose: we’re not just doing this for fun (although we do have a lot of fun). At Tennr, you’ll join a high-caliber team maniacally focused on reducing patient delays across the U.S. healthcare system. - Build Relationships: collaborate and connect with like-minded, driven individuals in our Hudson Square office 4 days/week. - Free lunch! Plus a pantry full of snacks. BENEFITS - Beautiful new office at 345 Hudson Street - Unlimited PTO - 100% paid employee health benefit options - Employer funded 401(k) match - Competitive parental leave
