Sell Orbit, a cloud software lifecycle management product, to higher ed and public sector IT, procurement, and finance buyers. Full-cycle role building pipeline via outbound, events, and PCR's installed base.
What you'd sell

Voice AI that replaces phone menus for big companies

When a big company gets a lot of customer calls, it usually sends callers through a phone menu of press-one, press-two options. The problem is, callers get stuck pressing buttons, and the calls that get through still need a lot of staff. Sadie is a voice AI that answers those calls like a real conversation, around the clock, so companies spend less on staffing and customers get help faster.

Transparency
Says nothing about quota, attainment, deal size, territory or sales cycle.
Pipeline
Mostly self-sourced. Great if you like outbound, rough if you don't.
Time on market

Company hiring
22 sales roles open, hiring at a steady pace.

Red lights

None spotted.

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

  • Ramp or draw. It mentions a ramp period or guaranteed draw, so you're not on full quota from day one.
  • Pays accelerators. Higher commission rates once you pass quota. Overperformance actually pays.

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.

    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.

  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 are the base and the OTE for this role?

    No point investing hours before you know the number.

  4. 4.

    What's the annual quota, and how was it set?

    A quota built from real data is a target. Otherwise it's a hope.

  5. 5.

    What share of last year's closed deals did reps source themselves?

    Shows how much pipeline you'll have to build on your own.

  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.
