- Transparency
- Says nothing about quota, attainment, deal size, territory or sales cycle.
- Pipeline
- Mostly inbound or an assigned book.
- Time on market
- Open 23 days. Normal, but not fresh.
- Company hiring
- Ramping up: posted 17 sales roles in the last 30 days. That many open roles can also mean churn. Ask how many reps are still there from last year.
