The job

What you'd do

Sell Workato's software to big companies across the United States from first call to signed deal. You'll find many of your own new customers, generating leads through your own outreach, events, and partners.

What you'd sell

Lets AI safely do real tasks across a company's apps

When a company wants AI to do real work, like updating a customer record, it usually wires the AI into each app by hand. The problem is, each app has its own locks, so the AI can break things or see data it shouldn't. Workato links those apps together and sets the rules for what the AI can do, so the company can trust it.

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 percentage of reps on the team have been here more than 18 months?
Tenure shows whether people stay long enough to get paid.
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.
Who sits with reps and reviews calls each week?
Coaching is often what's behind a good or bad attainment number.
5.
What are the base and the OTE for this role?

Why I built it this way ↓

Most résumé tools try to make you look like a match. I'd rather help you find out if you are one.

Nothing made up.
Nothing goes on your résumé that you didn't do. If a line would need a number you didn't give me, I ask. I don't guess. On Braun Board it's checked in code, not just promised.
Curiosity before conclusions.
If the job wants something your résumé doesn't show, I ask before I assume. Plenty of sellers have done the thing and just never wrote it down.
Sorting, not selling.
Some jobs won't line up with what you've done. Finding that out before you apply isn't a loss. It's an hour back, spent on a job that fits.
No score.
A match score tells you how well you copied their words. It doesn't tell you whether you'd be good at the job, or happy there.

It's the same way I teach selling. We don't control who says yes. We do control where we spend our time, and whether everything we say is true.
